Terrapins In The Classroom
Research Projects & Data

Terrapins In The Classroom allows Maryland students to participate in the raising, research, release, and tagging of the state reptile—the diamondback terrapin.

Teaching children about protecting hatchlings, and allowing them to interact with other children who have seen the animals firsthand, will help them connect to conservation needs of the terrapins as well as the entire Chesapeake Bay ecosystem. Find out more about this program by going to http://www.terrapinbook.com/.

The research projects are on-going and data from them will be availble soon. Please check back later.
