About Chignik Bay

Vegetation

The vegetation in Chignik Bay is typical of remote Alaska, here we have low shrubbery, beach rye grasses, alders and willow. Alders and willows grow perhaps 20 to 25 feet high. There are no natural growing evergreen trees. The few evergreen trees are ones that have been transplanted from either Kodiak or Anchorage areas and growing in private yards. Considerable amount of salt/fresh/brackish marsh vegetation, within the village area considered wetlands. Wild flowers typical of Alaska bloom during the summer, such as dandelion, fireweed, iris, rose, lupine and horsetail. Salmonberries, cranberries, crowberries and blueberries are the only edible berries in the area. Strawberries grow very well if maintained.
