Sep 2024 Turtle Fence work bee

Come join us to take down the turtle fence at the Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area. This fence is installed to keep turtles from getting killed on the West Creston Road when they are trying to find a spot to lay their eggs.  Western Painted Turtles generally lay their eggs within 150 m upland of a pond in dry, light, soils.  We take it down in the fall so it doesn't get damaged by snow removal.

The work will involve rolling wire fencing and taking out rebar. There will also be walking and uneven surfaces.
