Taiya Inlet Watershed Council is starting up another year of Salmon in the Classroom at the Skagway School. We are excited to be partnering with the Skagway Traditional Council this year, bringing a cultural component to the program! We started out the year with an egg take from our local pink salmon in Pullen Creek. The eggs are now in their tank in the school’s hallway for the students to observe as they go through the life cycle. In the spring they will be released back into Pullen Creek to continue their journey! Our last lesson focused on the internal and external anatomy of salmon. We had an up close and hands on look of the various organs and body parts. Source: Taiya Inlet Watershed Council Blog

Dear Community of Skagway, I’ve had the pleasure of serving you as the director of the Taiya Inlet Watershed Council for the past 4.5 years. Together we’ve protected riparian areas, built rain gardens, raised salmon from eggs to fry (and released them!), planned the Pullen Creek StreamWalk, held four Pat Moore Memorial Game Fish Derbies, written a Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual, and pulled a lot of invasive plants. My time here in that capacity is almost over, and I’m passing on my position. The Taiya Inlet Watershed Council (TIWC) now sits within the Skagway Traditional Council (STC). My hope is that together TIWC and STC can bring funding and projects to address the community’s environmental concerns and continue to work towards healthy salmon habitat in the Taiya and Skagway…

Wild and Scenic Film Festival A Success

Wild and Scenic Film Festival A Success

Uncategorized
Thanks to a cooperative team of audio/visual enthusiasts, the Taiya Inlet Watershed Council presented the Wild and Scenic Film Festival with sound and video on March 19! We have to say a big thank you to the Skagway Brewing Company, an ever supportive partner of ours who allowed us space, staff time, and 10% of their beer sales for the night. TIWC made $152 U.S. dollars and $10 Canadian dollars that night, all of which will go towards future projects and programming. Thank you to Eric Wortman, Claire Barrett, Abby Jo Kramer, and Andy Miller for their help in getting this going. And thank you to everyone who came and watched me panic for 45 minutes before we got the video going. Source: Taiya Inlet Watershed Council Blog
