Forest Glen Preserve<\/a> is my absolute favorite site to search for turtles in Vermilion County!! What makes this endeavor even more spectacular is that we had guests from the Box Turtle Conservation Workshop<\/a> hike with us to search for eastern box turtles.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Box Turtle Conservation Workshop was held the weekend after this search effort. Professionals involved in their own turtle projects, or who just love turtles<\/em>, came to the event to listen to speakers present their research. Students from Wildlife Epidemiology Lab were even involved by presenting research of their own!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At Forest Glen, we captured twelve turtles<\/strong> in total during a 2 hour search with the trained canines.<\/p>\n<\/div>
