Dam Removal Webinars
Rivers and the communities that depend on them face unprecedented threats to their vitality. The impacts of climate change, dams, and habitat fragmentation have created a crisis in the decline of freshwater species and threaten the health and safety of communities. Join American Rivers’ National Dam Removal Program for webinars on expanding dam removal work across the nation, and learn how we can work together to address the climate crisis through river restoration.
American Rivers has set a goal to remove 30,000 dams and reconnect 300,000 miles of river by 2050. We are developing strategies for each sector of our community of practice to achieve this ambitious goal. Our webinars dive into these transformational strategies and key concepts in dam removal to support the work of our community of practice.
If you have any questions or need assistance registering for the webinars, please contact Katie Schmidt: kschmidt@americanrivers.org
