🐢👏 Students from @plcsydney have partnered with our School of Science, @FNPW and Oatlands Golf Course to hatch and release eastern long-necked turtles. Earlier this week, students and the project team led by Professor Ricky Spencer (@Prof_TurtleAU) came together to release the hatchlings back into their environment. With 95% of nests lost to predators like foxes, this pilot project proves our schools can play a vital role in turtle conservation, building on the work of the @1millionturtles Community Conservation and Citizen Science Program.
