Information Materials
Comprehensive information on the biology, conservation, and management of bog turtles on private land.
The Anchor Approach to Connectivity
ANCHOR is a new conservation approach that builds Areawide Networks to Connect Habitat and Optimize Resiliency. The approach guides investments in strategic “anchor” locations to connect wildlife populations, enhance landscape resiliency, and strengthen rural economies.
Habitat Restoration and Management
The northern population of the bog turtle (Clemmys (Glyptemys) muhlenbergiii) faces the primary threats of habitat loss, degradation and fragmentation as a result of development and habitat degradation due to succession and invasive exotic plant species. Vegetation management and restoration of emergent wetland hydrology is crucial to bog turtle population recovery.
State-Specific Bog Turtle Information
A series of links are shared here to allow staff and partners to easily find additional, state-specific information on bog turtle distribution, habitat, threats, conservation partnerships, etc.
NRCS Conservation Practices and Materials
Conservation practice standards, wildlife habitat evaluation guide (WHEG), etc.
