Anticipation is building with just a few days left until the Seventh Annual Symposium on the Conservation and Biology of Freshwater Turtles and Tortoises! Click here to download the program book for all the details on schedules, talks, social activities and more! (Note: Conference attendees will receive this booklet at registration)

 

 

 

The silent and live auctions are always a ton of fun at conference  - and they help to generate funds that support the TSA! The success of these auctions (and the symposium!) depends on the generous donation of auction items each year from TSA members and conference attendees. If you are joining us in St. Louis, please consider bringing some items with you to donate to the cause. Popular items each year include turtle-themed art, books, jewelry or other collectables. Anything is welcome, but items with a turtle or wildlife theme are generally the most sought-after.

 

Each donated item should be accompanied by an auction form, which can be downloaded by clicking here.

 

For those who were in Tucson last year, you may remember the beautiful print that the TSA commissioned from artist Tell Hicks to benefit the Rafetus program. We will have another piece available this year - the Burmese roof turtle (shown above) - benefitting the TSA's Myanmar program. The original art will be sold during our live auction and limited edition prints will be available for purchase.
