Andy Coleman, herpetologist, will talk about studying turtle populations of Birmingham’s urban waterways.
Birmingham has numerous urban waterways that support an impressive amount of turtles. The study was started this year to document and track these populations. These animals can provide insight into the health of our creeks and rivers. It has been a great first year of sampling, and results and future work will be discussed. All are welcome to the meeting.
When arriving at Birmingham Southern College (BSC), inform the guard at the BSC entrance that you are there for a meeting at the Southern Environmental Center (SEC). They will be happy to give directions. To find the SEC, take the first left immediately after the guard shack, go straight through the median stop sign and turn left at the T-intersection stop. The SEC is the building on the left at that stop, there is a marquee above the entrance that says “Southern Environmental Center”. There is parking in front of it and further down. A map of the campus can be found here (SEC is labeled #1): https://www.bsc.edu/about/map.html
