Wood turtle (Glyptemys insculpta) COSEWIC assessment and status report: chapter 12
Acknowledgements and Authorities Consulted
The staff at the Natural Heritage Information Centre in Peterborough, Ontario (Mike Oldham and Regina Varrin in particular) were very helpful and not only let the author look in the library but let her make copies of many of the information sources used for this report. Jim Trottier with the Blind River MNR took the author out turtling and provided some essential resources. Several other individuals contributed more than was asked, including Perry Brewer (excellent photos and dedication to a personal project), Raymond Saumure (great website and as well as helpful information and discussions), and basically everyone listed as “pers. comm.” (for taking time out of busy work schedules to discuss Wood Turtles either over the phone or via email).
