eastern box turtle on a dirt road

Learn about our state reptile, the Eastern Box Turtle, and what the park does to protect this amazing species. We will learn how Box Turtles are captured, marked, and then released. Afterward, we will search for box turtles in the woods. Please wear closed toe shoes, long socks and pants, and bring plenty of bug spray and water! 

Meet at the Group Camp parking lot at 2:30 pm. Email rebecca.browder@ncparks.gov to register.
