Wildlife biologists with the Portland District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, search for signs of turtles and their nests near Fern Ridge Reservoir on July 26, 2022. As a federal agency, the Portland District provides certain protections to wildlife at Corps’ reservoirs. As part of those protections, Corps wildlife biologists will walk for miles in a grid pattern through areas near several Willamette Valley reservoirs to search for signs of the threatened native species of turtle, the northwestern pond turtle. Once found, the biologists will log information about the pond turtle, adding to their 30 years of data on the species. Corps Biologists hope that their actions, including efforts with Oregon State University to compile the 30 years of pond turtle data, may help make the case to list them as an endangered species, because there’s still so much unknown about the turtle.
