Wetlands restoration supports wocus plants, a tribal food source

In Southern Oregon, efforts to restore wetlands are helping to revive wocus plants, a vital food for the Klamath Tribes. These plants, known for their nutritious bulbs, have been threatened by agricultural drainage and pollution. The Riddle family, along with local farmers and organizations, are working to restore habitats and reintroduce wocus through innovative techniques like planting in biodegradable pots. The project highlights the connection between wetland restoration and tribal food sovereignty.
