The Ocean County Department of Parks and Recreation hosted its first Facebook Live educational program, on box turtles, last week, and has the video posted on its page, facebook.com/OceanCountyParks, for viewing now. Cattus Island County Park senior naturalist Nikki Vernachio introduces “Itchy” the eastern box turtle, and explains what make this fairly common turtle so interesting.

The department plans to go live on Facebook every Wednesday and Friday at 11 a.m., so tune in to learn!
