Turtle Observer Training

Saturday, March 8, 2014, 9 AM to 12 PM

Become a trained
Turtle Observer and you will monitor and record behavior of the native Western
Pond Turtle around Phoenix Lake and Lake Lagunitas. The required orientation
includes a hike around Lake Lagunitas, a discussion on turtle biology, and
methods for engaging the public. Volunteers will monitor turtles from March
through May on their own schedule. Volunteers can be as young as 8 years old if
accompanied by an adult. (Pre-registration required
as space is limited)

 Trail crew events are suitable for ages 13 and
older.

Age 8 or up
can volunteer at habitat restoration events.

Volunteers under the age of 18 must have a permission form signed by a
parent or guardian.

Volunteers under the age of 16 must have a parent present at the event.

Please wear close-toed shoes and long pants, dress for variable weather
and bring a reusable water bottle. We provide breakfast snacks, water, tools
and inspiration. Rain
cancellation and fire closure information can be found by calling after 7:30
a.m. on the day of the event.

To pre-register, to request a youth permission form or for any other
questions please leave your information here or email volunteerprogram@marinwater.org. Our website provides more information and maps. Visit marinwater.org,
look under “watershed” and then under “volunteer opportunities”. Thank you for
your interest in volunteering on the Mt. Tamalpais Watershed.
