Free talk on Wednesday, June 13 at 7:30pm in the Activity Center on wood turtles. Wood Turtles are a rare and secretive species that inhabits rivers and streams in the Northeast Kingdom, but due to threats caused by human activity, the future of Wood Turtles is in jeopardy. Thankfully, it is not too late to save these animals. Join Kiley Briggs, Turtle Conservation Coordinator with The Orianne Society, as he talks about Wood Turtles, their biology, habitats, threats to their survival, and a new research and conservation program aimed at preserving the Wood Turtle populations in the Northeast Kingdom.
