Our Northwestern Pond Turtle monitoring program relies on volunteers to help us assist the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife in capturing, measuring, and tagging turtles at our Willamette River floodplain projects. To do this, our teams deploy turtle traps baited with sardines, and return the next day to retrieve any turtles for tagging.
Sometimes, the volunters can wade out, but it's a lot easier with a boat. We've been borrowing a canoe that is no longer available and what we could really use is a small, sit-on-top kayak that we can transport in a pickup. Do you have one gathering dust or out behind the shed that you'd like to donate to turtle conservation and science?
Naming rights included! Please let us know, or contact Volunteer Manager Jean Fleming, jean@greenbeltlandtrust.org.
