This is our third year to offer an array of activities to celebrate one of our favorite Preserve friends, the turtles! Join us for turtle interactions, crafts, and games like a turtle egg hunt. New this year, bring an item to stamp an artist-carved Eastern Box Turtle linocut image onto clothes, books, or paper.Â
This is a family-focused, no cost, no rsvp event.
