Abstract:

Sixth grade students from Exploris Middle School, in conjunction with Centennial Campus center for Wildlife Education, are tracking turtles such as Waldo, using radio telemetry. Marking the location and movement of Eastern Box Turtles allows students to learn about behaviors and environmental preferences, as well as determining areas where turtles may be relocated away from development and hazards.
