Invasive plant survey and control in Tyonek and Beluga. Invasive pike control through intensive netting in Threemile lakes with NVT and ADFG, and CIAA.

As summer reaches its peak, TTCD is continuing to advance conservation, food sovereignty, and youth engagement. Our Habitat Monitoring and Restoration team is transitioning from a successful month-long “pike camp” in Beluga—where more than 1,300 invasive northern pike were removed from District waters—to salmon and water temperature monitoring efforts across the region. Pictured here is Naomi Jones, Farm and Field Technician, with a juvenile salmonid. We’re also celebrating the return of the Tyonek Farmers Market, hands-on science experiences for Tyonek youth, and strengthening Tribal Conservation District partnerships across Alaska.
