Critically needed water is beginning to reach Tule Lake and Lower Klamath national wildlife refuges after weeks of concern over drying wetlands, avian botulism, and migratory bird losses. The deliveries follow months of coordination among agriculture, Tribes, conservation groups, and federal agencies.

As the Wrights Spring Fire disrupts communities across Klamath County, food banks, volunteers, tribal programs, and local fundraisers are helping displaced families and animals. Residents are urged to check current needs and verify donation requests before giving.
