This year?s design features the Alligator Snapping Turtle (Macrochelys temminckii), an iconic species of the Gulf Coast drainages of the United States. Commemorating a decade of research and conservation efforts in the Greater Houston metropolitan area of Texas, this milestone reflects our long-term commitment to helping a species Thrive In The Wild in the face of ongoing human threats.
