Turtle Talk

What is this?

Presented in partnership with the Hamilton County Conservation District. Meet our mascot and animal ambassador, Murf! Murf is an Eastern Box Turtle who's here to educate others about his species and why you should care about turtles. After reading a story about a box turtle, students will listen to a short natural history presentation and then get an opportunity to ask questions. They will see Murf up close and may also get a chance to touch his shell! An optional worksheet is provided for students to fill out during the presentation. Ages 6-12.
