Free Flow: Spring 2025
The Pacific Rivers team is thrilled to share with you our Spring edition of Free Flow. In addition to conservation program updates, this issue's feature article is by nature writer and photographer, Nick Basaraba, about his journey into river advocacy, with special attention to the John Day River. 

Plus, we share Dr. Emily Fairfax's article with Chris Jordan, originally published in the LA Times with a forward by Pacific Rivers' staff Conservation Scientist Liz Gilliam. Dr. Fairfax's research highlights the crucial role of beavers in enhancing ecosystem resilience, particularly in mitigating wildfire impacts.

Streaming now: The Lost Salmon
Pacific Rivers is proud and pleased to announce that the latest Shane Anderson/Pacific Rivers documentary film is now available for viewing on our website via PBS.

The documentary tells the story of why spring Chinook 
salmon are genetically unique from other Chinook runs and makes the compelling case that these fish are at serious risk of extinction along the entire Northwest coast.
