    A NATURAL AREAS INVENTORY OF SCHUYLKILL COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA 2003 Submitted to: The Schuylkill County Conservation District 1206 Ag Center Drive Pottsville, PA 17901 Prepared by: Pennsylvania Science Office of The Nature Conservancy 208 Airport Drive Middletown, Pennsylvania 17057 Bog Turtle (Clemmys muhlenbergii) The populations of the Federally-Endangered Bog Turtle (Clemmys muhlenbergii), documented in Schuylkill County for the first time as the result of this study, are an essential component in the limited distribution of this species. The loss and degradation of wetland habitats favored by this turtle continues to threaten this species long-term survival. (Photo by the PA Science Office of The Nature Conservancy) The map below illustrates the known distribution of the bog turtle in North America. It is considered imperiled or critically imperiled in all the states in which it occurs. Map provided by NatureServe Explorer: An online encyclopedia of life [web application]. 2002. Version 1.6 .
