Wood Turtles hatchlings are not known for overwintering inside their nests, so these would have likely perished had they not been untangled from the roots that prevented them from emerging.

Wildflowers at the Longleaf Stewardship Center, including skyblue lupine and blazing star.
But in the region around the Longleaf Stewardship Center, this #nativegroundcover was nearly lost.
That’s why The #OrianneSociety is leading a groundcover restoration effort in South Georgia’s Ocmulgee Sandhills — through fire, native seed collection, and sweat equity.
The group peers inside a deep, sandy hole––a Gopher Tortoise burrow. Ben demonstrates how we use a burrow cam to see inside.
