🐢Young turtles on the move🐢 ⠀ The hasn’t been observed in the Rodeo Valley Watershed since 1998. This year however, biologists released 20 juvenile western pond turtles to Rodeo Valley Watershed and 14 to Redwood Creek Watershed. ⠀ “Being both aquatic and terrestrial living, turtles have this dual importance to the environment and can act as indicators of how healthy a system is,” said biologist Gabi Dunn, after watching the turtles swim off into their new natural habitat. “It’s just really inspiring to see that missing link back.” ⠀ @GoldenGateNPS, @parksconservancy, @SanFranciscoZoo, @PointReyesNPS, @SonomaStateUniversity all worked together to make this turtle release possible. Learn more about the project and find more photos from the release through the link in our IG Story. Let’s see if we can get to 34 🐢s in the comments! . . . @onetamalpais 📸 Alex Grant GGNPC
