Intended audience included: biological consultants, land managers, researchers, and regulatory agency personnel.
The workshop featured experts Drs. David Germano and Galen Rathbun. The instructors presented a comprehensive replica uhren training on the biology and conservation of the western pond turtle (Actinemys marmorata). The instructors have published reports and papers on the ecology and life history of this species, and their lecture summarizes the knowledge base on the ecology and conservation of the species.
