Step into the shoes of a herpetologist as we research terrapins and sea turtles together. This Discovery Lab is all about turtles that live in salt and brackish water. You'll follow turtle life cycles from shore to sea with fun games and demos. Our speaker, William and Mary Professor Dr. Randy Chambers will present his work on Diamondback Terrapins and their conservation. See you there!
Discovery Labs are free, family-friendly programs provided each month by CBNERR-VA at VIMS. Designed with elementary-aged youth and their parents in mind, each lab focuses on a different topic related to the Chesapeake Bay and our local environment and includes exhibits, demonstrations, and hands-on activities as well as a short presentation (from 6:30-7:00 PM) by an expert on the topic.
Reservations to this event are required due to limited space.
