Workshop Overview
The Southwestern Pond Turtle Workshop offers biologists a unique opportunity to deepen their knowledge of the Southwestern Pond Turtle (SWPT) and gain hands-on field experience. The workshop begins with a classroom session at the IRWD Duck Club, where participants will explore the species’ natural history, habitat requirements, and relevant conservation policies.

On Day 2, participants will apply their knowledge in the field, working alongside a permitted biologist to refine their survey and handling techniques.
