This summer, TTCD has the following projects planned to support healthy fish and wildlife: Culvert replacements on lower Indian Creek and at the Congahbuna Lake outlet and surveying for a road re-route project near Robert’s Creek. Invasive plant survey and control in Tyonek and Beluga. Invasive pike control through intensive netting in Threemile lakes with NVT and ADFG, and CIAA. Monitoring efforts on salmon populations, stream temperature, and water quality.
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!
