Just completed and launched the video ” Working for the River: Restoring the Dungeness”. Shot over the last 6 months.
The Dungeness River flows from the Olympic Mountains, down through the Sequim Valley, and into the Strait of Juan de Fuca near Dungeness Bay. It drains a watershed area of almost 270 square miles. While recent returns of Pink salmon to the Dungeness have been robust, a variety of human activities over the past century has resulted in the listing of four other Dungeness salmon stocks as threatened under ESA. This film tells the story of some of the efforts to restore the river over the last 25 years –by landowners, farmers, tribes, irrigation districts, and other partners– and how you can help.
This is the long version, 15+ minutes but has the complete story.
This is the short version, 7 minutes.

Excellent production, Al. It gives a very good general view of the need to protect our rivers in a responsible manner without destroying it. Great camera work, great narration by that voice of the wilderness, Tim McNulty, and great comments by Steve Tharinger and landowners. Special thanks to the tribe!
Well done video.
