Description

Ten minutes after an earthen levee was broken, water from the Siuslaw River continued to pour in, filling the Siuslaw Estuary with brackish water on May 29, 2026.

On the foggy morning of May 29, a thick, earthen barrier was the only thing separating a restored dairy farm from its reclaimed destiny: an estuary to welcome back the Salmon People, as well as lamprey, shorebirds, and numerous plants not seen on the premises since the mid-1800s.
