Creature Comforts | The Headstart Program

On Creature Comforts, Kevin Farrell is joined by Dr. Troy Majure, veterinarian at the Animal Medical Center in Jackson and Libby Hartfield retired director of the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science.

The gopher tortoise is one of Mississippi’s oldest surviving species, but despite their perseverance and endurance, they do still need some intervention to assist them in their life cycles. Today, we’re joined by Becky Stowe and Sid Godfrey from The Nature Conservancy of Mississippi to discuss their gopher tortoise Headstart Program.
