On August 26, the largest dam removal in history was completed on the Elwha River in Olympic National Park. While work will continue to remove rubble and debris from the channel, the dam itself no longer exists. This timelapse captures the removal of Glines Canyon Dam over the last three year. Two dams are gone and natural processes are being restored. In the last three weeks, naturally migrating Chinook salmon and bull trout have been observed upstream of the dam site for the first time in 102

“Elwha was the largest dam removal in the world. Then, Klamath was the largest in the world, and the Snake River will be the largest in the world when it comes.

But when the dams were finally removed, something extraordinary happened—within months, wild salmon returned to waters they hadn’t seen in generations.
