Chatham Conservation Partnership (CCP) conducted a webinar on Turtles on April 21, 2022, and we had a great turnout of about 120 folks. Now everyone can view the recording! Jeff Beane of the North Carolina State Museum of Natural Sciences gave an overview of Turtles of the North Carolina Piedmont; Sara Steffen of the Box Turtle Connection talked about box turtles and the research and citizen science they conduct; and Chatham County Cooperative Extension Agriculture Agent Debbie Roos talked about the NC State University Vet School's Turtle Rescue Team.
