Baby Turtles

This nest wasn’t just special because it belonged to a Wood Turtle; it belonged to Miranda, a Wood Turtle who was hit by a car and nearly died several years earlier.

Sampling for Wood Turtles
Houston Chandler
The Orianne Society spends a significant amount of time working on Wood Turtles in Vermont as part of the Great Northern Forest initiative. But did you know that Wood Turtles can be found in approximately 15 other states and in some parts of southeastern Canada? Despite this relatively large range, Wood Turtles are listed as Endangered by the IUCN and have already experienced population declines throughout most of their range, making them one of the rarest freshwater turtles in North America.
