NINETEENTH ANNUAL
INTRODUCTION TO DESERT TORTOISE SURVEYING, MONITORING, AND HANDLING TECHNIQUES WORKSHOP

WORKSHOP UPDATE!

At this time we do not have the numbers to justify a second workshop. We are currently working our way through the waiting list and will continue to do so until we fill the workshop with 110 people. We will keep the people on the waiting list updated as to what is happening. If anyone is not already on the waiting list and is interested in attending the workshop, please contact Maggie at tortoiseorg@gmail.com

The DTC coordinates these workshops because we believe that well-trained, knowledgeable biologists and monitors for projects play essential roles in the conservation of tortoises and their habitats. We hope that you will be able to join us!

2010 Workshop Agenda


The Desert Tortoise Council Tortoise Handling Workshops are held once a year in the fall. The Desert Tortoise Council’s 2-day workshops are structured to provide information on the handling, monitoring, surveying and biology of desert tortoises.

Instructors include: Desert Tortoise Council officers, public and private sector biologists, and personnel from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG).

The Desert Tortoise Council Tortoise Handling Workshops are recognized by the USFWS and CDFG, BUT a certificate of attendance and participation does not guarantee a USFWS or CDFG permit. However, completion of the Workshop should help with the permitting process.
