Elwha River Dam Removal and Restoration Project. Visit the Elwha River in-person or virtually and report on the ongoing environmental and cultural impact of the removal of its dam several years ago. This story is nicely summarized on page 293 in one of our textbook chapters we will not cover. I visited in-person in 2016 and was impressed by the evolving landscape. You will also find many online resources for reporting on this environmental experiment, including the following:
• "Undamming the Elwha" -- A 30-minute KCTS 9 special at: https://kcts9.org/programs/undamming-elwha/undamming-elwha-full-documentary (Links to an external site.).
