Effects of increased urbanization along
Chena Slough are contributing to
accelerated degradation of one of the
most popular Arctic grayling fisheries
in Interior Alaska. The Chena Slough
Technical Committee implemented a three

1) assessment/reestablishment of fish
passage, 2)stream channel and

evaluation of restoration success.

Public and private landowners across the
Fairbanks Soil and Water Conservation
District are concerned with invasive
plant infestations, commonly known as
weeds. These infestations reduce the
biological, agricultural, recreational,
and economic value of the land, decrease
native plant populations, and degrade
ecosystems. For management efforts to be
successful, a broad scale, coordinated
and systematically integrated approach
to managing these invasive plants is
necessary.<Read
