Turtles play remarkable roles in our ecosystems and cultures— yet many species are in decline. Join naturalist Kerry Wixted for an engaging and eye-opening journey into the world of turtles!
Learn the basics of turtle biology, discover several of the unique species found in Maryland, and explore the key reasons their populations are struggling. You’ll also walk away with practical ways you can help turtles thrive in the wild.
PLUS: You’ll get to meet some of Irvine’s resident turtles up close!
Tickets include a catered lunch and animal encounter.
