Our 2020 @usfws Blanding's Turtle head-starts are doing well and still head-starting. The NRM faculty has been deemed essential personnel for the duration of the COVID-19 crisis as all of the live animals in the department's care, many of them endangered species, still require captive maintenance and monitoring. So far, all are doing well. Please stay safe, get your information from reliable sources, and heed recommendations. #bristolaggienrm #turtles #conservation #herpconservation #neparc #covid_19 #coronavid19 #wildlife #endangeredspecies #essentialpersonnel #reptiles (at Bristol County Agricultural High) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-KoUtOBtUm/?igshid=1rz0w0z9qg9hm

Awesome underwater photograph taken in a vernal pool? Nope. It is our Spotted Salamander in our Forest Amphibians exhibit in the Bristol County Natural History Museum. #bristolaggienrm @bristolaggie #salamander #amphibians #naturalresources #naturalhistorymuseum #museums #Massachusetts #vocationaleducation #highschool #herpconservation #neparc #science #vernalpool #underwaterphotography #nope (at Bristol County Agricultural High) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9VFqmrh_EH/?igshid=196ifnxfq1nsu

Our two 460 gallon Plymouth Redbelly Cooter head-start tanks got a good cleaning yesterday. This morning their water had warmed and they were able to return to their temporary home. Only a few months left until they are released. #bristolaggienrm @bristolaggie #turtles #Plymouth #neparc @mass.wildlife #aquaculture #herpconservation #wildlife #conservation #students #engaged #cleaning (at Bristol County Agricultural High) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9Sumt0BGR4/?igshid=1flz6jy2k5nr

More great work by Bristol Aggie NRM students. The task was to learn about our native pit vipers and create a life cycle depicting their natural history. (I love the mating snakes!) #ecology #snakes #reptiles #naturalhistory #wildlife #endangeredspecies #animals #distancelearning #BristolAggieNRM @bristolaggie #herpconservation #neparc #mystudentsrock #greatwork

These are two of our 2020 Wood Turtle head-starts from @usfws. They are basking under an @exoterra Solar Glo UVA/B bulb. The correct wavelength of light is required for proper metabolism and growth of young turtles. . Hatchling Wood Turtles come to us each year from a national wildlife refuge in New Jersey. They will return to their home refuge in the spring to be released. . We have been working with this refuge for years and the results of this work is really beginning to show. (Watch for more on that to come.) . #conservation #bristolaggie #bristolaggienrm #turtles #turtlesofinstagram #wildlife #animals #vocational #highschool #reptilesofinstagram #herpetology #herpsofinstagram #herpetology #endangeredspecies #newjersey @usinterior #herpconservation #neparc #ultraviolet #metabolism #growth #2020 (at Bristol County Agricultural High) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8pq6iqBImv/?igshid=4cjrq8sfdbws

Bristol Aggie NRM instructor, Ms. Bouley, helping to document the annual breeding of a local population of Eastern Spadefoot. This data will be used by @mass.wildlife in the continued management of this population of these threatened frogs.

Had a great time discussing our role in the Mass Wildlife Plymouth (Northern) Red-bellied Cooter head-starting program, our expanded role during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the priceless value of biodiversity with Boston Fox 25.
Watch the Boston Fox 25 news on Friday, 17 April 2020.

Our 2019 head-starts are still doing well during the COVID-19 crisis and associated school closure. They will be ready for release into their natural habitats in the spring of 2020.
