August 2, 2024
10:30 am – 11:30 am
Location: Online
Blanding's turtles are true denizens of wetlands, traveling among wetlands to complete their life cycle, but also traveling long distances on dry land to nest. They take an extremely long time to reach sexual maturity (17 - 20 years in Wisconsin) but can live as long as humans. Join Rebecca Christoffel to learn more of the fascinating life history of Blanding's turtles as well as some current conservation efforts underway to help their populations.
