Canning Turtle Talk and ‘Turtle Tracker’ Training
Many of the City of Canning’s wetlands, including Wilson Wetlands, are home to populations of the snake-necked turtle which are under threat from a combination of predators such as foxes and ravens, vehicle strikes on our roads, lack of suitable nesting habitat and the increased drying of southwest wetlands.
Come to this workshop to learn about snake-necked turtles and the Saving Our Snake Necked Turtle (SOSNT) project.
SOSNT is a citizen science project and community engagement program to help conserve the snake-necked turtle.
SOSNT provides you with an opportunity to help protect turtles by receiving training to become a ‘Turtle Tracker’. You can be trained to support nesting turtles, protect their nests and use the TurtleSAT App. From September to January turtles leave the water to nest. They are most vulnerable during this time, so need your help then.
