“Shell-a-Brate” World Turtle Day
Thursday, May 23, 2024

Join Piedmont Wildlife Center as they “shell-a-brate” World Turtle Day with their resident box turtles! This all-outdoor, relaxed event will include the unveiling of our new outdoor box turtle enclosure, box turtle activity booths, Turtle Treks, photo ops and meet-and-greets with live box turtles! You’ll even get the chance to learn how to participate in our citizen science project, Turtle Trekkers.

The event is FREE with a suggested $10 donation to help cover food costs and husbandry needs for the box turtles.
