AP Bio partners with Wildlife conservation to help Blandings turtles

Look at what happened in AP Biology this week!

These photos were taken during the presentation to AP Biology by Dr. Bryan Windmiller of Grassroots Wildlife Conservation on the Headstarting project for Blandings turtles.  The AP Bio students will be caring for the turtles for the rest of the year in order to increase their size before being released into the wild next June.  The Blandings turtle is a threatened species with populations in the Great Meadows Wildlife Refuge in Concord and the Oxbow National wildlife refuge in Harvard, Ma.  As larger turtles are released after the "headstart" given by over 40 near by schools, the predation will be less and over time, the Blanding turtles population will increase.
