(September 12, 2016) Here is a great shot that supports our contention that we now have Pacific pond turtles (formerly called Northwestern pond turtles) on all of the Conservancy’s managed marsh complexes.
Photographed on one of the Conservancy’s preserves last week, this is an excellent image showing the colorful creature, which is one of the NBHCP’s “Covered Species.”
We are so pleased that another water-dependent at-risk species has now colonized and found sanctuary on Conservancy mitigation lands. (Photograph: Conservancy field staff.)
