Florence, Wis. — The next Outdoor Education program is set for 6 p.m. Wednesday in Florence and will feature Tiffany Bougie, wildlife biologist with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.

Wisconsin is home to 11 species of turtles, four of which can be found in Florence County. She will discuss the life cycle, habitat requirements, threats, and conservation efforts of these semi-aquatic reptiles that call the Northwoods home.

This free program is given in the lower level conference room at the Florence Natural Resource Center building located on the corner of U.S. 2 and Highway 101/70 in Florence, 5628 Forestry Drive.
