Spring Celebration 2010 Report





"The Friends of McIntyre Creek Spring Celebration held June 11, 12, 13, 2010 was well attended, and enjoyed by the people who took part. The weather was windy and chilly but there was no rain for the event. Several people attended the Yukon Invasive Species weed pulling, (there are a lot of weeds at Yukon College). The dog powered sports dry land racing was an interesting event, and dry land casting was very educational with Dennis Zimmerman and Bruce Ross demonstrating the techniques. Exploring nature with your child was poorly attended as it seamed the soccer and ball tournaments took all the youth. The Bird walk on Friday evening revealed many birds in the wetlands, and a visit to the salmon fish incubation hatchery along Mountain View was very educational. During this event we sampled many of the bugs and things that live in the creek and make it a great place for fish to live"

If you are interested in invasive species, you may wish to attend this Workshop in Alaska. It is very likely the problems Alaska is facing will be similar to those of the Yukon.
