2006 Invasive Plant weed-pull event at Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge

The Tok Mushers Hall was the gathering place for a training session on June 17, 2006, which included staff from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, University of Alaska Cooperative Extension Service, Alaska Department of Agriculture, Alaska Department of Transportation, and British Petroleum. The community of Tok turned out as well as the Tok Boys & Girls Club and the Tok Volunteer Fire Department. Together with seven Friends, these dedicated weed pullers focused their attention on the white sweet clover at Tetlin Refuge's Lakeview Campground, which is 57 miles from the U.S./Canada border.
