Documenting urban turtle populations to ensure their survival.
Alabama supports the highest amount of turtle biodiversity in the United States.
Our mission is to both study the turtle populations that inhabit urban aquatic habitats and increase the public awareness of Alabama’s turtle diversity.
Citizen scientists are essential to the success of the Urban Turtle Project.
Anyone interested in science, turtle conservation, or exploring some of our natural areas is welcome to participate in our sampling weekends.
How can you help?
There are several ways that you can help the Urban Turtle Project. You can volunteer during one of our sampling events, purchase some UTP merchandise, or make a donation.
