Box Turtle Educational Information
Box Turtle Postcard
NEPARC has created an educational post card, Don't Take Him Home - Let Box Turtles Stay Wild, to raise public awareness of box turtles and how taking individuals from the wild can negatively impact our wild turtle populations.
Video - Box Turtles and Roads
NEPARC has created a video, Box Turtles and Roads, to raise awareness of the risk roads pose to box turtles and how people might safely assist a turtle in need. To view this video, RealPlayer is required. If you do not have a RealPlayer, you can download a free copy from Real (off-site link).
