We are planning our next NatureQuest session – Saturday October 4 from 9 am to noon. This one will focus on gopher tortoises. Jennifer Mothershed will bring several live tortoises and a snapping turtle available for children to see. Andrew Curtis (Tifton vet) will talk about gopher tortoise ecology and lead children to two gopher tortoise burrows to talk about habitat. ABAC wildlife volunteers will have several activities and lead the children on an outdoor investigation. Be sure to register so Avanlee can anticipate numbers.

Our annual Day in the Woods community event will be happening (weather permitting) four weeks from today (Saturday April 12 from 1-5 pm). We already have over 40 people or groups who will be presenting hands-on activities and interactive demonstrations related to wildlife, forestry and traditional crafts. We always welcome new presenters and volunteers, so contact me if you’d like to help. The event is non-commercial (free!) and designed for people of all ages and backgrounds – something for everyone, so please plan to bring all your friends and family and join us. You can also help by sharing information in the post with everyone you know.
This event is very popular. Many attendees come every year. Here are two unsolicited testimonials from last year. One girl told her mother “This has been the best day of my like.” Another asks to come every year as a birthday treat.
