Calling all nature lovers and aspiring scientists! Join us at Camp O' The Hills for a hands-on conservation adventure protecting Michigan's native turtles during nesting season. Head into the field to observe turtle behavior, identify species, record scientific data, and learn how to spot active nests. You'll even help build and install predator screens and nesting boxes to give turtle hatchlings a better chance at survival!
Take part in a DNR conservation project, including a hands-on experience relocating turtle eggs. Along the way, you'll dive into turtle ecology - learning about threats to turtle populations, the importance of wetlands, and what it means to be a steward of local wildlife.
