Blanding's: A Species at Risk
| Division: | Life Sciences | | Category: | Intermediate | | Region: | South Shore | | City: | Bridgewater , NS | | School: | Bridgewater Junior-Senior High School | | Abstract: | Emydoidea blandingii is a nationally endangered species at risk. This study examined four data sets related to efforts to find the Blanding's turtle in the Southwest Nova Biosphere Reserve, including my trapping session at Flanders Meadow. There were no Blanding's caught. This is important because we have limited knowledge of the distribution of Blanding's in remote areas. |
