- **Event Name**: Does the River Give a Dam? Effects of the Nelson Dam Removal on the Naches River
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 03 Mar, 2026 at 06:00 pm
- **Event Description**: We are excited to announce the third talk in our Winter Talks Series in partnership with @yakimavalleycollege! 

Talk Description:
Resource managers are increasingly recognizing the role of dam removals to reestablish the natural functions of a river complexity required to sustain native aquatic and riparian species. Lisa Ely will compare the impacts of removing the relatively small Nelson Dam on the Naches River to the well-publicized removal of large dams, such as on the Elwha and Klamath Rivers. How are they similar, how do they differ, and why? Does the river actually give a dam?
