Restoring Northwest Salmon and Protecting Wild Rivers with AMERICAN RIVERS.

As the Northwest Regional Director, Sarah Dyrdahl leads the
regional team working to protect wild rivers, restore damaged
rivers, and conserve clean water for people and nature in Oregon,
Washington, and Alaska. This is part one of our two part series
featuring the work of American Rivers.


Sarah has been working with communities on river conservation and
restoration in Alaska and Oregon since 2004, as a staff biologist
for a Native Alaskan Tribe and 15 years as a restoration program
manager, and then executive director, for Oregon watershed
councils. Most recently, Sarah served as the aquatic &
riparian specialist and interim deputy division chief for the
Oregon Department of Forestry. Before migrating upstream to
freshwater ecosystems, Sarah studied nearshore marine ecological
communities along the Oregon Coast with the Partnership for
Interdisciplinary Studies of Coastal Oceans (PISCO). Sarah
grew up in the country, on the banks of the Applegate River in
southern Oregon, an experience that she weaves into her dream job
of conserving and restoring rivers and landscapes through
community building.


When not working, Sarah can be found on or near any body of
water, scouring mountain meadows for wildflowers, creeping
through forest understories for mushrooms, propagating
houseplants, or gardening in pursuit of the next delicious
meal.
