Join us at Patuxent Research Refuge on May 15th for an exciting after-hours celebration dedicated to the Diamondback Terrapin! The evening will kick off with a guided tour led by our Chesapeake Bay Trust Corps member at 4:15 PM, followed by the screening of a short film titled “Turtles on the Hill” at 5:00 PM.

Enjoy a delightful intermission with refreshments provided by the Friends of Patuxent before we welcome our special guest, Dr. Anne Wiley from BSU, who will share insights on student research focused on our little hard-shelled friends at the refuge.

Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity to learn more about these fascinating reptiles and their habitats! 🌿
