After two decades of planning for the removal of a dam in Washington state, the ecosystem along the Lower Elwha River is starting to heal. This area, which spans 1,100 acres, had been covered in muddy water from the dam’s reservoir for over a hundred years. Now, 171 years after the land was taken from its original owners and 114 years after it was submerged, the tribe is nearly ready to reclaim this ancestral land. The information comes from the Good News Network. What do you think about the recovery of this land?
