Millions of stream miles risk losing protection
EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers aim to cut protections for millions of stream miles across the United States Final “repeal” rule leaves important drinking water sources and habitat at dire risk of being unprotected from pollution, and opens the door for the expected “replacement” rule later this year which will be even worse for streams…

Hiking the CDT: Learning to dislike roller coasters
“From the very first day of this section, we could see all the way to where we would be in three days. Across a wide, high desert valley we could see a pass that we would eventually cross over to stay on the divide. To our right and in front of us there was a mountain range that the CDT climbs up into twice.”

A champion for one of the Lahontan cutthroat’s last native holdouts
After 5 miles of mountain biking, I rigged up my fly rod, observed my surroundings, dapped a parachute Adams onto the surface of the 2-foot-wide creek and pulled a 15-inch Lahontan cutthroat into my net.

Umpqua Feather Merchants stands with TU on Lower Snake
“At Umpqua, we say we’re tied to the water,” Russ said. “Our love of the water is the constant that binds us all together. From flies to tools, everything we do is made for the water. The Snake is an iconic American river that once supported plentiful runs of salmon and steelhead. For decades now, we’ve tried to work around the issue of the dams with fish ladders, barges and a host of other failed alternatives. The fact is that we can either have dams on the Snake or fish in the Snake. We can’t have both.”
