Thank you to everyone who joined our Turtle Habitat Fundraiser this May! We were blown away by the amazing support from our community. Over 140 people stopped by the Interpretive Nature Center for a day filled with fun turtle-themed activities. We have raised $3,500 towards a new home for our resident red-eared slider turtle, Ruby. Thank you! We are over half way to our goal of $5,000. You can still donate by visiting our website: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/fundraiser-for-rubys-new-habitat
