Did you know.. during the American Revolution, Benjamin Franklin proposed the Timber Rattlesnake as a symbol of the indomitable American spirit? This serpent made its way into the Seal of the War Office and adorned military flags. Happy Independence Day from The Orianne Society!

I love finding box turtles in the yard! I've seen both of these before - the one on the left just since 2022, but the one on the right since 2015! (ID by shell pattern) 🐢👍😍

Just met up with Frog Hero Jimmie from the USFWS National Fish Hatchery in Edenton. I'll be taking these juvenile Gopher Frogs back to the wild this evening! Thanks @USFWS for helping with this imperiled species! 🐸🙂👍

Recent #burn at a private property that hadn’t been burned in over 20 yrs and was overgrown with turkey oaks. Conducting #prescribedfire in the growing season top-kills a greater percentage of oaks, allows more light to reach the ground and promotes biodiversity across the stand.

A juvenile #SpottedTurtle freezes among the leaf litter of a shallow pool, hoping to go undetected. This was one of many juvenile turtles found during this year’s population monitoring surveys. It’s always exciting to see these young #turtles!

Be a Good Turtle Neighbor: Everyone can play a role in helping turtles!
One of the best ways to be a good turtle neighbor this time of year is by helping them get across roads, if it’s safe for you to do so. Check out these tips: https://t.co/aiOA8ssnER

#WildTurtleWeek

[AssocFishWildlife @fishwildlife]

Conservationist Jeff Corwin teamed up with partners to raise awareness about threats to North America’s native turtles and tortoises, including illegal collection. Join Jeff in the field and learn how you can help keep turtles wild. https://t.co/Ez4OLgQsDI

- Pull over safely.
- Move the turtle in the direction it was headed.
- Pick it up by the back of the shell with two hands.
- Watch out for the claws and bitey parts.
- Pat yourself on the back for being a friend of turtles.
- Have a cupcake or something. You earned it.

As we shellebrate #WorldTurtleDay, we'd like to remind everyone that if you see a turtle trying to cross the road and want to help it out, make sure to:

[NC Aquarium at FF @NCAquariumFF]

Turtles Crossing! It’s nesting season and our nature neighbors are crossing roads on their quest for the perfect nest. You can help by slowing down and being vigilant. If you can do so safely, carefully move the turtle off the road in the direction it was heading. #WorldTurtleDay
