Conserving Turtles One Slow Step at a Time

The Hudson Valley is home to many amazing turtles, but they face growing threats from habitat loss, roads, poaching, disease, and climate change. Join Dr. Eric Teitsworth of The Orianne Society to learn why turtles are so important, what local species need to survive, and how residents, landowners, and community groups can help. The talk will also cover habitat restoration opportunities, including programs available to landowners through the Natural Resources Conservation Service.
