This spring, TTDC welcomes a new board member in the at-large position: Jason Brune. Jason serves as the Senior Lands Manager at CIRI and we are looking forward to the energy and ideas that he will bring to the TTCD Board of Directors. TTDC also welcomes new employee John Hagen, who joined TTDC in March as the Conservation Technician.
May felt like the true start to summer at TTCD: full of field work, community gatherings, and planting! This month, our Habitat, Monitoring, and Restoration team took their first trip to Beluga to prep for “pike camp”, we put up our two high tunnels at the Tyonek Garden, and we spent time with the Tebughna School students celebrating STEM learning, releasing the Salmon in the Classroom, and planting their indoor seedling at the Garden Blessing in Tyonek!
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)!
