Program Description: The Woodland Box Turtle is one of the most commonly encountered reptiles in Virginia. But, how much do you really know about them? Do you know that they can live as long as—and perhaps even longer than—humans, or that humans are the most important predators of Woodland Box Turtles, killing hundreds each year on Virginia’s highways? Join us as we learn about the life and antics of these amazing creatures!

Speaker Bio: Todd Fredericksen teaches courses in environmental science and biology at Ferrum College. Research interests include the effects of forest management on biodiversity, natural history and conservation of wildlife species in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and tropical and temperate forest ecology. He is the editor of Banisteria, the journal of the Virginia Natural History Society and Editor of the journal Trees, Forests, and People. He is a wildland firefighter with the Virginia Department of Forestry and a member of the Virginia Natural History Society, Virginia Society for Ornithology, and the Virginia Herpetological Society.

For over 15 years, Phoebe Needles Center, Inc. has been offering adult educational programs with guest speakers, fellowship time, and a luncheon. This program is called the Center for Lifelong Learning (CLL). On the second Tuesday of each month, participants gather at 9:30 AM for coffee & teatime with light breakfast treats. At 10 AM the presenter's program begins, and is followed by a delicious luncheon, served at noon. CLL Members pay an annual fee plus a reduced rate for monthly attendance which represents a cost savings when attending on a monthly basis.

$20

We welcome one-time learners to our CLL program! Though, we certainly hope that our one-time learners will decide to come back monthly, and will consider becoming a Center for Lifelong Learning member!
