Turtle Observer Training
Turtle Observer Training
Saturday February 9, 9 AM to Noon
Become a trained Turtle Observer and you will monitor and record behavior of the native Western Pond Turtle on Mt Tamalpais. The required orientation includes observation techniques, a discussion on turtle biology, methods for engaging the public, and a walk to a lake. Volunteers will monitor turtles from February through June on their own schedule. Volunteers can be as young as 8 years old if accompanied by an adult. Pre-registration required as space is limited: volunteerprogram@marinwater.org. Rain will not cancel.
Maximum number of volunteers is 30. Ages 8 and up.
Location TBD
