Freshwater Turtles of Vermont Poster

The continental United States is home to about 60 species of freshwater turtle, with the southeastern part of the county having the highest concentration of species. Turtles are air-breathing reptiles living in rivers, ponds, and lakes. They are omnivores, feeding on plants as well as insects, small fish. While spending most of their time in or around water, they will climb up onto land to lay their eggs. Many of the species of turtles face threats from habitat loss and commercial harvest. However conservation efforts focusing on nest protection and habitat restoration has helped stabilize many of the most endangered species.
