Description: |
Bayard Cutting Arboretum Horticultural Society Turtles with Clown Lips Lecture Workshop and General Meeting at Bayard Cutting Arboretum Horticultural Society in Great River, Suffolk County, Long Island, New York.
Diamondback terrapins inhabit the salt marshes of Long Island. These beautiful turtles, named for the diamond-like pattern on their carapace, have faced many obstacles, from loss of habitat to over hunting to being caught in crab pots. This lecture will cover terrapin biology, their cultural history and the efforts being made to protect and conserve the species. BCAHS will also have a plant and seed exchange at this meeting.
