Film and Q & A: "The Last Spotted Turtles of New England"

Join us at the EcoTarium for an unforgettable evening celebrating one of New England’s most elusive and endangered reptiles—the spotted turtle.

The Last Spotted Turtles of New England is a powerful new documentary by acclaimed filmmaker Ari Taub, making his debut in the world of nature storytelling. This beautifully shot film explores the fragile future of spotted turtles in southeastern Massachusetts and on Nantucket Island, weaving together science, passion, and the urgent call for conservation.

After the film, stick around for a live Q&A with Ari and featured conservationists, as they discuss the making of the film, what makes these turtles so unique, and what we can all do to help protect them. Whether you’re a nature lover, wildlife advocate, or just curious about the hidden wonders of our local ecosystems, this is a night you won’t want to miss.
