The University of New England (UNE) is hosting a free, family friendly celebration of freshwater turtle conservation on Saturday 28 February, giving the community a behind-the-scenes peek into the UNE Turtle Lab.
The day will include live turtles, as well as tours of the Natural History Musuem and the turtle research labs where visitors can discover the real-world work that goes into protecting New England’s endangered Bell’s turtle.
There will also be live book readings to launch the release of two children’s fiction books, 'Mystery of the Missing Turtles' and 'Where Are All the Baby Turtles?' written by UNE’s own Professor Debbie Bower and Dr Lou Streeting.
A sausage sizzle will be available on site, providing the community with an opportunity to donate to the UNE Turtle Hub, a new dedicated space to hatch and rear juvenile turtles and to examine the behaviour and health of adults.
