The Wood Turtle in Virginia: Conservation of a Slow-Moving Species in a Rapidly Changing Landscape

Thursday, April 23, 2015
7:00 pm9:00 pm

Found throughout Virginia, the wood turtle is one of the most interesting species in North America and also among the most threatened. Like turtles in general, the wood turtle does most things slow and steady, and this no longer wins the race in our rapidly changing, modern world. Join Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy and Tom Akre of the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute as he presents the current story of turtle conservation with a focus on his wood turtle research in Virginia. Registration required at www.loudounwildlife.org/SignUp.htm.
