NY seminar
My, what a busy month this will be.
David Carrol is an honest down to earth naturalist. He has spent his whole life studying turts with the last few dozen years in his own back yard swamp in New Hampshire. And yes he does actually wear that bandana all the time. His book Year of the Turtle is a beautiful classic. http://carrollartgallery.com/books.htm and a give away at the price. http://nytts.org/nytts/sem2012.htm What briliant value for money tickets are less than thirty quid. Flight aint much more! See ya at the turtle breeders symposium. Rom |

I know that you have met David Carroll at is home in New Hampshire, however, wouldn't it be great if we could get him to present his life's work here in the UK? Last edited by Geomyda; 28-01-2012 at 09:34 AM. |

Year of the turtle is one of my favourite books. Not favourite turtle books, not favourite natural history books; favourite books. Of all time. Its brilliantly written, puts you right in those swamps. He writes about spotted turtles in almost mystical terms. We've all fallen for it.
