Where to Find Bog Turtle in North Carolina - Search Videos

What’s small (reaching a maximum size of 4.5 inches), has a shell, and a distinctive orange patch on each side of its head? A bog turtle! 🐢 This New York State native turtle is the smallest turtle species in North America! It is state listed as endangered and federally listed as threatened. It’s pretty neat that NYS has populations in the wild, but many thanks should be given to DEC, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), conservation partners, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS

Watch as ARC Southern Appalachian Program Coordinator Mike Knoerr shows off a young bog turtle he found and some of the habitat from our bog turtle program. Although bog turtles are little, our program to recover them is big. For starters, to find remaining populations, we use machine learning that identifies habitat from aerial photography.

Bog Turtle Habitat Restoration & Kioti Krazy Contest Clue #2

From Bog Turtle researcher, Mike Knoerr, “Meet male 4.2 (aka Jackie Robinson). I have found this big fella more times than any other bog turtle as I often work in his fen and know where he lives (in some willow roots with 2-3 females and sometimes a bullfrog).
