Channel 5 highlights Maine Wood Turtle Project
WABI (Channel 5) highlighted the Maine Wood Turtle Project, which is co-led by Matthew Chatfield, assistant professor of evolution and eco-health at the University of Maine. “Mostly what we focus on is ecology and management of wood turtles to help improve their conservation status in this state and elsewhere,” Chatfield said. Since wood turtles can be difficult to find, researchers are teaming up with Science Dogs of New England to sniff out the turtles.
