I've haven't heard a ton of people talking about this, so I wanted to spread it. The state of California has removed 4 outdated hydroelectric dams that were blocking the breeding ground for Chinook salmon. This removal unflooded 2200 acres of land, and in preparation for this removal Native American tribes have been collecting and breeding seeds of native plants. They took these seeds and planted them along the restored river bank, taking the first steps to restoring the area. https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/before-and-after-photos-show-californias-unprecedented-dam-removal/ar-AA1rMwPg
