About the lecture:
U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service biologist Chelsea Waddell will introduce you to the Northwestern pond turtle, one of only two native turtles living in Oregon. This wide-ranging species is found in Washington, Oregon, California, and Nevada but in recent years we have seen their populations decline. They face many stressors including loss of habitat, invasive predators, and climate change. In the spirit of collaborative conservation, wildlife managers are working with conservation partners to ensure populations can recover and thrive. In this dynamic talk about pond turtles, you’ll learn about their unique biology, ecological needs, stressors, and what scientists and you can do to help these incredible critters!
