The North American Box Turtle Conservation Committee is pleased to announce the 2023 North American Box Turtle Conservation Workshop, to be held September 29 through October 1, 2023 at the Elachee Nature Science Center, Gainesville, Georgia, in coordination with the University of North Georgia.

In honor of the life and work of Lucille F. Stickel, the North American Box Turtle Conservation Committee has established the Lucille F. Stickel Box Turtle Research Award. This award supports conservation projects and research on North American Box Turtles in the following categories: natural history, ecology, conservation, reproduction, and epidemiology. The Committee awards one or more grants following a competitive proposal review process. Grants are small, and generally range from $500 to $1000.
