Pam Otto National Biodiversity Teach In

Pam wanted to be a naturalist from the first day she heard the word, waaay back in 1972. She took a detour in college and spent several years working in publishing, all the while keeping nature a hobby, before becoming a naturalist in 1999. Today she works at the St. Charles Park District as the manager of nature programs and interpretative service, a fancy title that still basically means “naturalist” but with the added fun of meetings and paperwork. She appreciates wildlife of all types, even ticks and mosquitoes, and has a particular fondness for Class Reptilia- snakes, lizards and of course turtles.

Presentation: Blanding’s Turtle a threatened species and its recovery.

As its habitat has diminished and new threats like vehicle traffic have emerged, the Blanding’s Turtle has struggled to survive in fragmented ranges throughout Illinois. We will discuss this turtles biology and ecology, and give details on the Blanding’s Recovery Project, an effort to help preserve this charismatic Species.
