Box turtles are familiar to just about anyone who spends time outdoors, but many people are unaware of their ongoing decline in the wild. In this class, students will learn all about box turtles, including their feeding, nesting and breeding habits, legal status, threats to their survival, and how they fit into the ecological community of woodland wildlife. Naturalist Carlton Burke introduces some of these gentle reptiles, and we learn what can be done to ensure their continued well-being in the wild.
