Lucille F. Stickel Box Turtle Research Award

In honor of the life and work of Lucille F. Stickel, the Box Turtle Conservation Committee has established the Lucille F. Stickel Box Turtle Research Award. This award supports conservation projects and research which will contribute to a secure future for wild box turtle populations. The Committee awards one or more grants following a competitive proposal review process. Grants are small, and generally range from $500 to $1000.
