Turtle Island Taskforce
Freshwater turtles are losing their natural habitat at a rapid rate. Turtle islands are floating artificial habitats that allow safe nesting spaces for adult freshwater turtles.
Let us help your school to create a bio-island to protect our turtle friends from predators like foxes and cats. We will help students to plant their turtle island with native plants (both provided as part of the session) and show them how to use the TurtleSAT app so that they can track turtle activity and nesting success.
Teachers also get access to the awesome 1 Million Turtles Program Resources page for pre-session classroom materials for 12 months. Schools will be able to access a tailored curriculum for schools, focused around freshwater turtle conservation and wetland health for 12 months. These online resources aim to shape students’ learning with a particular attention to scientific literacy and numeracy.
Please get in touch for more information.
