Description:
The 2019 Wildwood Outdoor Classroom Summer Lecture Series kicks off with "Let's Talk Turtles" on Thursday, June 13, 2019 at Wildwood Park in Radford, VA.

In this turtle talk, we will learn about different species of turtles in Virginia. What makes a turtle a turtle? What do different species look like? Where do they live? How can we help our terrific tenacious turtles?

The talk will be led by Amy Roberts of the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries and Radford University Biology Department.

Join us in a marvelous natural setting at twilight for these free bi-weekly, family-friendly multi-media presentations by local naturalists on Thursdays starting in June and continuing through August.

Park at the Main Entrance to Wildwood Park at Main & Grove or the Sundell & Park Road lot. It is a 5-minute walk to the classroom in the center of the park.

In case of rain, the lecture will move to the Radford Recreation Center. An announcement will be made by 6:00 pm the day of the lecture.
