I believe this is what they call “a proper unit”.

Students found what they identified as a Pond Slider turtle based off of these characteristics:

* The intricate yellow striping on the head and legs
* The oval, slightly domed shell
* The plastron (bottom shell) patterning
* The faint reddish/orange coloration along the shell margins near the legs.

Do you think their ID was accurate?

COMING UP: Willow bark basket class for adults this Sunday May 24th.
Join us to explore the ancient and versatile craft of woven willow bark basketry. In this hands-on workshop, you will learn the seasonal art of identifying suitable willow trees and sustainably harvesting their bark in long, pliable strips. We will guide you through the entire process, from preparing the bark to weaving it into a beautiful and remarkably sturdy basket. This class offers a wonderful opportunity to connect with the natural cycles of the landscape and is a perfect introduction for anyone interested in basketry and the art of wildcrafting.
