 The turtles are one of the big features of Ashby Pond. The city has now contracted a turtle preservationist to move the turtles. He has been doing test captures to determine what species are in the pond, has selected three locations in Manassas that will be suitable habitats for these turtles. He says after July 4th, traps will be set along the pond perimeter baited with chicken. If any members of the public are interested, you're welcome to join us anytime between 10 and 1, any day in July.
