Autumn has arrived, and here at TTCD we’re enjoying this beautiful time of year. The 2016 summer season has featured many successful projects and we have a lot to celebrate, including our largest garden harvest, the completion of an invasive plant control project in Beluga, two successful pike derbies, a new fire break surrounding Tyonek, and several new projects at TTCD.
April brought a steady rhythm of activity for TTCD as programs ramped up for the season ahead. Tebughna students started indoor seedlings and took part in field trips exploring Native Alaskan culture, local ecosystems, and owls! Our Habitat Monitoring & Restoration team welcomed two new staff members and the Tyonek Garden is starting to thaw in welcome of spring (and summer)!
It’s officially spring, though you wouldn’t know it by the cool temperatures we have been getting for most of this month! Spring for TTCD is a flurry of activity. We are getting ready to start seedlings with the Tebughna School, hire Youth Garden Interns, deliver more salmon to more Tyonek households, and prep for our first habitat monitoring and restoration projects of the summer, including Pike Camp!
