Join NH Fish and Game wildlife biologist Josh Megyesy for an introduction to turtle conservation in the Granite State. We’ll explore the ecology of at-risk species, habitat use, threats, and conservation actions developed through long-term population monitoring. Josh will also discuss how to identify turtle habitat, the impact of road mortality on turtles, strategies to reduce roadkill, land protection efforts, and what landowners can do to help.
