We had several teams cover three sites today in search of turtles (and scouted a fourth site for when they’re ready for us). Big thanks again to for granting us permission to their sites!

No fooling here, we're giving you a chance to try being a turtle researcher! Eastern Box turtles are a beloved native species; unfortunately they're at risk of declining due to habitat loss, vehicle collisions, and poaching. We're trying to discover the most turtle-friendly land management practices as part of our long-term research project with the Turtle Conservation Ecology Lab and Joe Kolowski at the Smithsonian’s NZCBI.
