West Fork Tuckasegee (NC) Backstory

With support from both KEEN’s Hybrid.Care giving program, the Conservation Alliance and other partners, American Whitewater succeeded in our campaign to have the Dillsboro Dam removed in 2010. It took three more years to implement a flow agreement for water in a class IV headwater segment of the West Fork Tuckasegee. Read about the impacts of dam removal and flow restoration in a recent Gear Junkie article here.
