On this episode of Wild Field Trip, join Coyote Peterson and guest host Hadley Hofbauer as they explore the lush grounds of The Holden Arboretum in Kirtland, Ohio, in search of its resident creatures. With a map, net, and binoculars in hand, Coyote and Hadley navigate the various bodies of water and work their way up the aquatic food web, with encounters with the Northern water snake, painted turtle, and Ohio’s top reptilian predator, the common snapping turtle!
