A short video about who we are and what we do. Our young conservation group has:
Protected 68 Blanding’s turtle nests, then headstarted and released 327 hatchlings. In this process we give each of the young turtles, most of them raised in schools for nine months, a 40-fold boost in its chances of living to adulthood .
Worked with Mass Audubon to build ten new breeding pools for eastern spadefoot toads, the rarest amphibian in Massachusetts. Together, we have reintroduced the spadefoot toads to a site from which they disappeared in the 1980’s and we are now poised to do similar reintroductions elsewhere.
Begun projects to re-establish both rare native wildflowers and their insect pollinators, in towns from which they have disappeared.
Worked with more than 5,000 school children, at 39 Massachusetts schools, and with several dozen adult volunteers, all of whom helped conserve rare species that live in their towns and regions.
