Neighborhood Box Turtle Watch

Box turtles are under threat as expanding urbanization eliminates turtle habitats. With your help, this project documents box turtles in rural and suburban settings so that we can learn more about how turtles and humans can coexist in the same spaces. If you find a box turtle, snap a photo of the top and bottom, measure it, and record your location, then share your findings with us online. Your data will help us understand habitat use by box turtles and how they are adapting to living with humans. menos ↑
