Welcome!

 

The Amphibian & Reptile Survey of Minnesota was created with three primary objectives in mind.

  1. Increase citizen participation in amphibian and reptile data collection throughout Minnesota.
  2. Document turtle-road crossing and mortality hotspots through the Minnesota Turtle Crossing Tally and Count Project, with an emphasis on Blanding's Turtles (Emydoidea blandingii) and Wood Turtles (Glyptemys insculpta).
  3. Make data available to conservation and research organizations.

In addition to these objectives, the Amphibian and Reptile Survey website serves as a source of information on Minnesota's amphibians, reptiles, and their distribution in the state. Contact us with questions.
