This summer, TTCD, Native Village of Tyonek, Alaska Department of Fish & Game, Cook Inlet Aquaculture Association, and other partners initiated an invasive pike suppression task force for the Threemile Creek drainage. The task force worked through the month of June and removed 1,335 pike from the drainage. In addition to pike control, the team established an outstanding working group for future years and created the largest known dataset on an invasive pike population in Alaska. Suppression efforts are planned to continue in May and June of 2019.

May 2026 Newsletter
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!
