Get ready for reptiles and amphibians to take center stage at CitySpace! Did you know that the habitats for our cold-blooded reptile and amphibian friends including salamanders and turtles are under threat? At reptile and amphibian night, you’ll learn how conservationists are working to reintroduce rare marbled salamanders — which have hatched for the first time in almost a century in the Middlesex Fells. You’ll also hear about Zoo New England’s award-winning Blanding’s turtle conservation efforts.
WBUR climate and environment correspondent Barbara Moran will moderate a conversation with Emilie Wilder, associate director of conservation and engagement, and Matt Kamm, conservation outreach coordinator, will talk about how scientists “headstart” turtle hatchlings. The evening will include pictures, video and a live demonstration of how researchers radio-track turtles in an effort that helps to protect nests. You’ll get to meet some turtles in person!
All ages welcome.
