The Kennebec Estuary Land Trust and the Midcoast Conservancy invite the public to learn about the lives of turtles in the estuary! Join Karen Robbins, citizen scientist, for a live webinar on Thursday, June 25 at 6:00 pm to learn about her work with turtles, the species that call the estuary home, and what you can do to help protect them. This free event is great for naturalists 10 years old and up interested in the lives of these slippery-shelled reptilians!
Robbins is a citizen scientist that has studied aquatic species and restored their habitat for the past 20 years. She has conducted long-term movement studies of map turtles for the State of New York and painted turtles here in Maine. Recently, she helped restore an alewife run in the lower Kennebec. Currently, she is assisting the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife with the assessment of the status of spotted turtles and their habitat here in Maine.
