Action Alert! Speak up to Protect the Chehalis River’s Wild Steelhead!

[Woolly Bugger]

Wild steelhead advocates have an important opportunity to protect one of the best remaining steelhead runs in the United States by stopping the proposed dam on the Chehalis River. So please speak up today and tell the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers that you oppose this misguided dam proposal and that it is time to develop real solutions for the Chehalis Basin.

While the Chehalis River lacks the fame and notoriety of Washington's more iconic rivers like the Skagit and Hoh, most years the Chehalis boasts a run of wild steelhead larger than any river in the state. As recently as 2004, the Chehalis had 19,000 wild winter steelhead return to its waters. But much like many of its sister rivers, the Chehalis has experienced a steady decline of returning wild steelhead in recent years.
