For years Ruby, our resident Red-eared Slider Turtle, has been welcoming guests to our Interpretive Nature Center.  We have recently undertaken a project to build Ruby a new and more suitable dwelling space that she will enjoy.  Who knew that turtles needed so much space? – well, if you ever see Ruby out for one of her walks with one of our ACORNS volunteers, you will understand.  She loves to move around – and she certainly can move! And her new environment will allow visitors to observe and enjoy her activities more easily.

 Now you can join us in making Ruby’s new home a reality. Come to our Special Fund-raising event on May 3rd at the Nature Center.  There will be plenty of activities and fun. Everything turtle! And if you would like to make a donation to help us pay for Ruby’s new environment, Click here.  And thank you!
