We are ONE WEEK away from this year's Native Plant Conference!
🌿 Speaker Spotlight: Dan Chase 🌿
We’re excited to welcome Dan Chase, Senior Fisheries Biologist and Director of Fisheries, Aquatics, and Design Discipline for Resource Environmental Solutions (RES), to this year’s Native Plant Conference!
Dan has spent more than 20 years working in mitigation, restoration and conservation efforts for imperiled fish and wildlife species throughout the western United States. He serves as the lead fisheries biologist for the Klamath River Renewal Project, the largest dam removal and river restoration project in U.S. history, where he has helped guide permitting, design, implementation and restoration efforts.
In his presentation, From Reservoirs to Rivers: A Look at the Klamath River Renewal Project Restoration Journey, Dan will share the story of the historic removal of four hydropower dams on the Klamath River in northern California and southern Oregon. Attendees will gain insight into the restoration strategies used on this ambitious landscape-scale project, lessons learned during implementation and updates on tributary restoration efforts completed in 2025.
