While on tour, you may have seen our team out on the lake, kayaking to check our traps and measuring turtles on shore before releasing them back into the water.

It’s World Turtle Day, and we love our Western pond turtles so much, we sometimes help give them a leg up in life. Oregon’s two native turtle species, Western painted and Western ponds are struggling due to loss of habitat, predation by non-native predators like bullfrogs and being outcompeted by non-native turtles like red-eared sliders. Fenced off areas containing screened-off nests help keep predators away from the eggs, and when they hatch, the nests are carefully excavated to insure the you

It’s World Turtle Day! 🐢 Here’s 90 seconds of northwestern pond turtles vibing in the sun on their logs. You’re welcome. Washington is home to a variety of native turtles—both freshwater and sea turtles. Inland, we have the northwestern pond turtle and painted turtle. Off our coast, you might spot rare sea turtles like the leatherback, green, olive ridley, and loggerhead turtles which occasionally spend time in Washington waters. You’ll notice we didn’t mention common snapping turtles, spiny so

What better way to shellabrate #WorldTurtleDay than with Bybee, the Western Painted Turtle! 🐢 Bybee represents one of two of Oregon’s native turtles–the other being the Western pond turtle. Western painted turtles inhabit slow-moving, marshy, shallow waters with muddy bottoms and plenty of vegetation. During spring and summer, Western painted turtles sleep on the bottom of the pond and become active around sunrise, basking in the sun on rocks and logs. You can support Western painted and pond t

Western Pond Turtle? Nope! This turtle came to us with a crack in her shell and is currently receiving treatment. While she doesn’t have the classic red mark behind her ear, the edges of her shell tell us she’s a Red-eared Slider, just a melanistic (darker) one! Red-eared Sliders are not native to California, and we don’t encourage the public to bring them to us. However, since this individual was injured, she’ll be cared for and then rehomed, meaning she’s now safely out of our waterways and no

Come with us on a turtle survey to track our favorite shell-ebrity: the western pond turtle! Since 2016, as a joint reintroduction program, Sonoma State, the San Francisco Zoo, and Golden Gate NPS biologists have been collecting eggs, rearing, releasing, and monitoring the western pond turtle. Using radio telemetry to track these turtle friends, biologists have been tracking movement of the released turtles and conducting annual health checks to better understand how western pond turtle habitat

WESTERN POND TURTLE RETURNS TO THE WILD: This Western Pond Turtle arrived in our hospital in May after being hit by a car in Briones Regional Park. In addition to suffering from a fractured shell, the turtle had wounds to its left foot and a fractured tail. Surgery was performed on its damaged toes and the turtle was monitored as it healed from its wounds. In July, it was ready to return to the wild. However, our partners at the East Bay Regional Park District informed us that the water sources
