| CTC Meeting April |
Turtle &
Tortoise Enclosures |
|---|---|
Sunday April 26
North Park Village Nature Center |
April is a "taxing" time for many of us requiring a few hours of relaxing turtle diversion to put aside the veracity of your 1040 form, the declaration of your turtles as dependents, and your upcoming audit and possible jail time in a suitable federal enclosure. Thus, we shall gather on Sunday to discuss safe enclosures for turtles followed by a video on the care and housing of tortoises. Of course, we will have the usual turtle camaraderie, Q & A, and Show and Tell. We will explore the nature trails for the first signs of Spring or perhaps a pot 'o gold - rainbows permitting. For more information about the North Park Village Nature Center, its programs, trails, and maps - please click here. The public is cordially invited - free admission and parking. You need not be a member to participate. Turtles are always welcome, but please transport your turtles safely and warmly on these cool Spring days. Free admission and parking. Sunday, April 26 And don't forget that the CTC Spring
Turtle and Tortoise Show is on Sunday,
