Here are a couple of Wood Turtles I caught digging holes and laying eggs along the East River. In 1996 the Wood Turtle was added to the "Vulnerable" section of the official list of species at risk of the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada. "Vulnerable" means the species is of special concern because of its sensitivity to human activities or natural events - in this case, habitat disturbance by people and livestock along riverbanks, and removal from the natural habitat by people seeking pet turtles.
