Looking for a fun, interactive science activity for your students? Want to give them an exciting project to keep them curious during breaks? Perhaps you’re looking for a way for your organization to give back to your community, all while enjoying the great outdoors! If this is you, join Piedmont Wildlife Center for a Virtual Citizen Science experience and become Turtle Trekkers!

Our Triangle Turtle Trekkers program is a citizen science project aiming to photograph and monitor eastern box turtles across the state of NC; our focus area is the Triangle region, but anyone across the state can participate.

• 3 virtual check-ins from PWC, with updates on our on-site box turtle study
