Mat-Su Valley Pike: Friend or Foe?

Come learn about Mat-Su Valley Pike from ADF&G biologists at the April 3rd Wildlife Wednesday’s talk in Palmer!

These voracious eaters may be fun to fish, but they are not in fact naturally occurring in the Mat-Su, and can severely impact local native fish populations. Come learn from ADF&G fishery biologists Parker Bradley and Cody Jacobson about these impressive fresh water hunters: how they got here, why they are a problem for other native fish, what organizations like ADFG are doing about it, and how local residents can help too.

Join us from 7pm-8pm at the Matanuska Experiment Farm – 1509 S. Georgeson Rd., Palmer. Questions? Contact Sierra Doherty at sierra.doherty@alaska.gov.

Hope to see you there!
