A Free-Flowing Mainstem Hood River: The Hood River Watershed 10 Years After Powerdale Dam Removed

In 2015, Kate Conley from Columbia Land Trust wrote an article for The Osprey about the 2010 Powerdale Dam Removal and the impact on the Hood River and its native fish. The Osprey asked the Watershed Group to write a follow up article on the project – now ten years post-removal – with a focus on fish recovery and restoration efforts.

The article appears in the current/winter 2021 issue of The Osprey. Read the article here. A color version is here.

Thank you to those who provided information for the article, including Phil Simpson from ODFW, Ryan Gerstenberger from the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs, and Kate Conley from Columbia Land Trust.
