Snapping Turtle (Eibs Pond, June)
Turtles are among the most adaptive and resilient creatures in this ecological scenario. Their immune systems allow them to adapt to both fresh and salt water. They are part of a study by the College of Staten Island of fragmented habitats.
About Our Art Prints
Signed art prints donated by three extraordinary artists are available for purchase in our art prints store, to support the programs we are engaged in. The prints include, among others, "Last Turn Your Turn" created by Robert Rauschenberg for the Earth Summit, Christo sketches of "The Gates,” a public art event by Christo and his wife Jeanne Claude that drew millions to Central Park, and "Manifest Destiny," by Alexis Rockman, showing New York City underwater in the future as a result of climate change.
