(April 24 arrival dinner optional and included)

This year the scientific program will focus on the geomorphic responses of the Klamath River to the 2024 removal of the four large main-stem dams of the Klamath Hydroelectric Project. On the field trip, we will explore the processes, forms, and curiosities revealed by the exposure of over 2000 acres of former reservoir and a free-flowing Klamath River. 

Registration will open in early March, 2025.  If you want to attend please visit the Bretz Club Archive page for a link to join our listserv.  You will receive an email from the listserv when registration opens!

More information coming soon.  But for now, some images to whet your appetite and an article on Rewilding the Klamath.
