Join us as we explore the sanctuary in search of diamondback terrapins, a threatened species of turtle that lives in our salt marshes. We will start off inside with an introduction to this fascinating species then head outside for a walk along sanctuary trails in search of nesting turtles in June and July and in search of hatchlings in August and September. Learn about turtle biology, natural history, and conservation. Be prepared to walk up to 2 miles.
