Reintroductions and Other Translocations

Kim Todd writes about “Reintroductions and Other Translocations” in a recent essay published on Guernica. From salmon in Piper’s Creek near Seattle, to bull trout and westslope cutthroat trout returning after the demolition of the Milltown Dam near Missoula, MT. “The search is for something authentic, some way a human can reach in and set things in motion again, then step back, observe, and ultimately, vanish,” Todd writes. “But perhaps that’s just a very human dream, both the authenticity and the vanishing.”
