90 dams ia a lot!

[[link removed]]189 dams, John.

Over the last two years, 189 dams have been removed across the U.S. These dams
were financial burdens, they were destroying wildlife habitats and fish spawning
grounds, they were unsafe. In short, they needed to go.

And now, rivers are running free. Fish and wildlife are coming back. Water
quality is improving. The fishing and recreation economies are improving.

We’ve been at the forefront of the river restoration movement for more than
twenty years, celebrating progress coast to coast -- from Maine’s Kennebec River
where this powerful movement was born 20 years ago, to California -- where
Cleveland National Forest removed a whopping 20 dams last year.

And right now, the countdown is on for the removal of the Middle Fork Nooksack
Dam in Washington, where American Rivers and our partners are working to restore
the river and its salmon runs."

Your help is critical to keep this important work going -- so we can keep
supporting and training local partners, and so we can tackle more dam removal
projects this year, next year, and for another 20 years.

As a member of our River Rescue Society you will support our ongoing efforts to
restore rivers to their natural free-flowing state. Every year we work with
communities and local partners to identify and plan dam removal projects, and
with 90,000 dams currently standing in the U.S., the need for our work isn’t
going away.

Each year as we celebrate successful dam removals from previous years, we also
look to the work ahead. Will you become our partner on this long-term project?
Can we count on you to help us #freerivers in the coming years?
