Public Turtle Trek

  • Piedmont Wildlife Center 364 Leigh Farm Road Durham, NC, 27707 United States (map)

Come learn all about Piedmont Wildlife Center and the research we do with box turtles! During your Turtle Trek, you'll get the chance to learn about radio telemetry, mark and recapture method and data collection. Try your hand at finding a box turtle in the woods by only using a radio signal! At the end of your turtle trek, meet one of our resident box turtles up close.

This is an outdoor, off-trail walking adventure. Please come prepared to trek through the woods and come prepared for the weather. Potential hazards we may encounter could include: ticks, poison ivy, barbed wire, venomous snakes, spiders and insects.
