Announcing: First Ever Northeast Turtle Intensive

March 15th 9am-5pm
Held in Central Massachusetts at the Turtle Rescue League Center. Tours will be given throughout the day.

This is a free conference for Turtle Professionals, Rehabilitators, Citizen Scientists and Conservationists to discuss the current techniques of saving, handling, housing, working with, and helping our native turtle populations.

Our Presenters include, but not limited to:

Dr. Maureen Murray from Tufts Wildlife, Grafton MA will be presenting on Triage and stabilization of injured turtles, with some cases.

If you are interested in working with turtles, are a rehabilitator that wants to learn more, or are just interested in what it means to rehab or work with turtles in a professional way.

This is an Adult conference and not a general audience affair. You must be approved for a reservation.

Space is limited, please contact Alexxia Bell at [email protected] to reserve a space, and we will give you further information.

Join us as we exchange ideas and learn techniques for the rehabilitation of chelonian wildlife.

There is a growing community of people in our region who rehabilitate injured native turtles. We seek to provide chelonian specific training, share solutions for dealing with common injuries, and provide a forum for the exchange of ideas, field observations, and new directions from a variety of perspectives.

I will not be handling the RSVPs for this event, so please reply to [email protected]
