Fig. 1. A ravine in the southern part of the pasture at the Damm Farm (June 28, 1958). Small springs at the heads of such ravines produced marshy conditions at their bottoms and provided drinking water, in the form of shallow pools, for box turtles for at least part of the year. Banks of ravines provided suitable sites for the construction of nests and forms.
Fig. 2. A mulberry tree on the bank of a ravine near northern edge of Damm pasture (June 28, 1958). Box turtles frequented the area beneath the tree when fruit fell to the ground in June and July. The ravine shown here filled with water after being dammed in June, 1956.
