Reptiles on Orcas Island: A Citizen Science and Outreach Project

A. Nichols~ Faculty Advisor: Aaron Wirsing

In April 2012, I conducted a social survey in the area of the largest concentrated population on the island – Eastsound. Going from shop to shop along the main streets, I asked local three questions: “Have you ever seen a reptile on the island in the past year?” “Where?” “and “What did it look like?”

Of the 40 locals I approached, 39 completed surveys, giving 35 snake locations, 2 turtle locations, and 3 lizard locations.

When describing the snakes they sighted, locals referred to them as “garden” or “garter snakes.” In post-interview conversations with residents, I found that none had heard of the sharp-tailed snake before and had no idea a rare reptile species was found on the island.
