In this chapter: A. Goals & Objectives B. Document Structure C. Methodology & Project Prioritization D. Outcomes A. Goals & Objectives Tyonek Tribal Conservation District (TTCD) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to conserve, enhance, and encourage the wise use of the natural resources in our District. In 2012, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) awarded TTCD with a grant to develop a Natural Resource Assessment and Project Implementation Plan. The Tyonek Native Corporation (TNC) provided matching funds to TTCD for this project. As part of this project, a list of goals and objectives were identified in discussions between TTCD and USFWS staff. The broad goals for the project were to: 1. Create one comprehensive document compiling current data to centralize the information, avoid duplicating projects, and to provide a tool to assist staff with funding future projects. 2. Prioritize potential projects for each document chapter, broadly covering general natural resource concerns within the district. The specific objectives associated with these goals included the following: 1. Organize document into chapters. 2. Identify potential partners for each chapter. 3. Collect data and information available from relevant public, private, and governmental entities. 4. Communicate with partners to develop an initial list of priority projects. 5. Connect compiled data with the initial priority list of projects and determine feasibility of the project based on budget and TTCD capacity. 6. Determine information gaps or data needed to complete each priority project. 7. Travel to Game Unit 16B (GMU 16B) to collect data through surveys, inventories, GPS data collection, and photos. 8. Use ArcGIS to create necessary maps for the project including but not limited to streams, rivers, lakes, and wetlands. 9. The final document for each chapter will include a list of priority projects with maps, potential partners, potential funding sources, land ownership, and an estimated budget. 1 B. Document Structure This document has been organized into chapters by background information, natural resources, and community conservation issues.

  • Birch Defoliator Yukon Forest Health — Forest Insect and Disease 4
    Birch Defoliator Yukon Forest Health — Forest insect and disease 4 Energy, Mines and Resources Forest Management Branch Introduction The birch leafminer (Fenusa pusilla), amber-marked birch leafminer (Profenusa thomsoni), birch leaf skeletonizer (Bucculatrix canadensisella) and the birch-aspen leafroller (Epinotia solandriana) are defoliators of white birch (Betula papyrifera) in North America. Of the four, only the Bucculatrix is native to North America, but it is not currently found in Yukon. The other three species, as invasives, pose a far greater threat to native trees because their natural enemies in the form of predators, parasites and diseases are absent here. The birch leafminer was accidently introduced from Europe in 1923 and is now widely distributed in Canada, Alaska and the northern United States, though it has not yet been found in Yukon. The amber-marked birch leafminer was first described in Quebec in 1959 but is now found throughout Canada, the northern contiguous U.S., and Alaska. The amber-marked birch leafminer has proven to be, by far, the more damaging of the two species. Both species are of the blotch mining type as opposed to the skeletonizing Bucculatrix and the leafrolling Epinotia. Amber-marked leafminer damage is typically found along road systems. Infestations along roadsides are often greater in areas of high traffic, or where parked cars are common, suggesting that this pest will hitchhike on vehicles. It was first identified in Anchorage, Alaska in 1996 and has since spread widely to other communities. In areas of Alaska, efforts to control the spread of the amber-marked birch leafminer have been underway since 2003 with the release of parasitic wasps (Lathrolestes spp.).

  • Arthropod Community Structure in Regenerating Douglas-Fir and Red Alder Forests: Influences of Geography, Tree Diversity and Density
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Brett L. Schaerer for the degree of Master of Science in Entomology presentedon March 17, 2000. Title: Arthropod Community Structure in Regenerating Douglas-fir and Red Alder Forests: Influences of Geography, Tree Diversity and Density Abstract approved: Redacted for privacy Timothy D. Schowalter The structuring of canopy arthropod communities was reviewed and investigated in relation to tree species diversity and its component factors, interspersion of different species and density of each tree species. Fifteen treatments of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) and red alder (Alnus rubra) (various densities and proportions of each)were randomly assigned to 0.073 ha plots, replicated three-fold at each of two locations in Western Oregon: the Cascade Head Experimental Forest and the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest. The six treatments used in this studywere two densities of Douglas-fir and red alder monoculture (1000 trees/ha and 500 trees/ha), and mixtures of Douglas-fir and red alder (500 trees/ha of each) planted simultaneouslyor red alder planted 6 years after the Douglas-fir. Trees were initially planted in 1985-1986. The arthropod communities were sampled in the summer of 1998 by bagging and pruning branches from the mid-canopy of both tree species. Multivariate analyses distinguished the arthropod communities foundon each tree species and geographical location, but not among the different diversity and density treatments. Many arthropod taxa and functional groups residingon a single tree species had significantly different abundances between locations. Themost commonly encountered taxon, Adelges cooleyi Gillette (Homoptera: Adelgidae),was most abundant on Douglas-firs in the 500 trees/ha monoculture and the mixture with younger red alder, and least abundant in the mixture with both species planted simultaneously (the1000 trees/ha Douglas-fir monoculture was intermediate).

In this study, two species of Olethreutinae: Hedya corni Oku, 1974 and Epinotia salicicolana Kuznetzov, 1968, are reported for the first time from Korea. Our records of Hedya corni are based on three specimens in both sexes from Islands Bogildo and Geojedo. The Korean record of Epinotia salicicolana is based on one male specimen from Muan-gun. The present records of Hedya corni represent the first occurrence out of Japan. Hedya corni is similar to Hedya inornata (Walsingham) but differs from the latter in having the reddish brown forewings. Epinotia salicicolana is similar to Epinotia solandriana (Linnaeus) but differs from the latter in having the smaller dorsal patch on the forewing. Habitus and genitalia of the two olethreutine species are illustrated and briefly described. Their bionomics and distribution are summarized. With our new records, the species numbers of the Korean Hedya and Epinotia are increased to 11 and 23, respectively.

These data highlight the continued range expansion of exotic species across North America. These new records also indicate that our collective knowledge of Pacific Northwest arthropod biodiversity and biogeography is underdeveloped, even for a relatively well known and species-poor group of insects.

Use by permission only: Anchorage photo: Michael Benson Beluga photo: T. McGuire, LGL Alaska Research Associates, Inc., under MMPA/ESA Research permit # 14210 Cook Inlet Beluga Whale DISCLAIMER Recovery Plan DISCLAIMER Recovery plans delineate such reasonable actions as may be necessary, based upon the best scientific and commercial data available, for the conservation and survival of listed species. Plans are published by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), sometimes prepared with the assistance of recovery teams, contractors, State agencies, and others. Recovery plans do not necessarily represent the views, official positions, or approval of any individuals or agencies involved in the plan formulation, other than NMFS. They represent the official position of NMFS only after they have been signed by the Assistant Administrator. Recovery plans are guidance and planning documents only; identification of an action to be implemented by any public or private party does not create a legal obligation beyond existing legal requirements. Nothing in this plan should be construed as a commitment or requirement that any Federal agency obligate or pay funds in any one fiscal year in excess of appropriations made by Congress for that fiscal year in contravention of the Anti-Deficiency Act, 31 U.S.C. § 1341, or any other law or regulation. Approved recovery plans are subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in species status, and the completion of recovery actions.
