| Mar 27, 2010 | all day | Rare Pond Species Survey Techniques Workshop | This workshop is designed to provide practical training on aquatic survey techniques for the California tiger salamander, California red-legged frog, and western pond turtle. The range of these three rare and protected species overlap and they often occur in similar pond habitats. The lecture session will include a review of the biology and ecology of these species, identification of life stages, state and federal regulations, and approved survey protocols. The field trip sessions will provide field training in aquatic survey techniques, including dip net sampling for CTS larvae, evening spotlighting for frogs, and turtle visual encounter and trapping. Also, seining (netting) and snorkel survey techniques will be demonstrated, if weather conditions permit. Preferences for field session dates is on a first come first served basis. Questions?
