The Box turtle population is going down and there is a project to save the Ornate Box Turtle. Some are run over by cars as they attempt to cross roads.

what habitat do northern box turtles live in?

There are only two species of box turtle in the continental US, the Eastern and the Western Box turtle. They are predominantly terrestrial turtles, although many of them enjoy soaking in a shallow pond or stream, and many can swim. Box turtles are adaptable to many habitats, but are found most often in wooded areas with brushy ground cover. They require some moist ground where they can forage for earthworms, grubs and snails. Most box turtles, but not all, hibernate in the winter.
