Turtles are a truly ancient species, that have existed since the time of the dinosaurs (about 300 million years). Cape Cod and its surrounding environs host 5 species of migratory sea turtles, and 7 species of land turtles. Come and learn a bit about each of these species, along with turtles in general, and meet Wild Care's Animal Ambassador, Eastern Box Turtle, Garv, up close and personal.  Questions are welcomed and encouraged.

Amy Sanders is the Volunteer Coordinator for Wild Care, and also a licensed Wildlife Rehabilitator, as well as having done many, many volunteer hours there for the last 8 years. In addition to rehabbing, Amy does field rescues (and covers the Outer Cape), feeding of young orphaned squirrels and birds, communications, talks and educational animal handling.  She also sometimes writes of her wildlife adventures for their e-newsletter, Duck Tales. She has an MS in Special Education and taught for 33 years.  Amy lives in Truro, with her menagerie of pets. In addition to her love of family, wildlife and art (she is also an artist represented by a gallery in Orleans), Amy loves to indulge in reading (most often in the sciences) and extensive hikes all over the Outer Cape.

This is an all-ages, family program - all are welcome! Registration is not required.
