The BIA invasive species program has continued to be successful during the FY21 fiscal year. The UTV’s are about to receive some much-needed upgrades! We are always looking and searching for new locations to deploy traps within Ottawa County, Oklahoma. If any Tribal Citizens have land within Ottawa County and have feral hog issues, please get in touch with the Environmental Department! Jamie Williams, Environmental Manager
The fish hatchery is preparing to perform specific maintenance to winterize warm weather equipment, which are items and tools that are primarily utilized in the warmer months. This is something we do to ensure optimal performance for our equipment for the upcoming spring. We are also planning and preparing to take bids to perform old-pond construction. This will be an exciting opportunity for us, by getting specific ponds in working order as well as allowing us to open several more ponds for spawning and grow-out procedures. It’s going to be a great fall/winter at the Peoria tribe aquatic facility, and we are super excited to continue making progress in preparation for the 2022 fish spawning season.
