Turtle Steward Training/Kick-off

Help NAP search for turtles and maintain nesting habitat! At least 6 species of turtles live and nest in the city, maybe more. Volunteers may maintain and protect nest sites, monitor populations, and look for turtles in habitats along the Huron River and nearby waters. We’ll help you learn species identification, nest maintenance and monitoring, and how to report your turtle observations. And yes, you can survey for turtles while paddling down the river on a sunny morning! Open to anyone who can look for turtles. Suitable for families. Surveys can be done from shore or on the water. This training is indoors at the Ann Arbor Senior Center, no special materials or gear needed. It will be recorded, but in-person attendance is strongly recommended. Contact NAP@a2gov.org with any questions.
