August 11-17 BoxTurtles

Not only are trees and plants a part of the Arboretum, but so are the animals who call the Barton Arboretum and Nature Preserve their home. 
As you wander through the Atrium on the Medford Campus, check out the Box Turtles. 
I've learned that the mating season for our friends, has just been completed, and that several of the females have laid eggs in the clear areas that Debbie has configured. 
In two-three months, we should see the new baby turtles as they hatch.
Keep an eye out for these new arrivals come the Fall Season.
