Drop in to meet our slow-and-steady friends every Thursday in April.

40 Years, 7 Days, Endless Ways to Celebrate! 🎉🌱 This year, Earth Day lasts all week at the Preserve in honor of our 40th anniversary! Enjoy turtle cookies, relax in a hammock at Prince Pond, get your hands dirty with Preserve care and a greenhouse transplanting movie night. Don’t miss out on this special milestone—join the celebration!

Join us for Meet the Turtles, a special 30-minute program held every Thursday during our regular turtle care time! Get an up-close look at our resident turtles -- LIzzie, Curtis, Donnie, and Gizmo! Learn about their unique personalities and discover how we care for them. Our student staff will share fun facts, answer your questions, and even give you a behind-the-scenes peek at feeding time!

Events this week:

  • TUESDAY: Stewardship Workday 9 AM - 12 PM; Hammocks at Prince Pond 3 PM & Anniversary Celebration Open House w Edgewood Bakery cookies 4-5 PM
  • WEDNESDAY: Greenhouse Workday 7 PM Dinner, tour, movie + transplanting
  • THURSDAY: Meet the Turtles 11-11:30 AM
  • FRIDAY: Educator Open House & BioBlitz Event 1-4 PM
  • SATURDAY: Nature Kids 9-10:30 AM, Frogs & Toads & Campus Service Day

This is just the start of our celebration! Our 40th Anniversary celebration takes root during Earth Week with a special Earth Day reception, honoring decades of conservation, education, and community. As summer blooms, we’ll highlight the Preserve’s impact with a mid-season feature, sharing stories and milestones. Then, we’ll close out the celebration during Homecoming Weekend in September with an Anniversary Open House—a morning of children’s activities, trail time, and the chance to reconnect with former staff and friends. Join us as we reminisce, reflect, and celebrate 40 years of stewardship and wonder!
