Event Details

Roadways are the single largest man-made structure in the United States, and
they have many effects on wildlife. Turtles are greatly impacted because
they are slow and often use roadway habitats, This program will share research findings on how a new roadway in the Nelsonville, Ohio area affects Eastern Box Turtles.  Our guest speaker: Marcel Weigand, Ohio University ecology and evolutionary biology graduate student, Department of Biological Sciences
