Turtle Release

Volunteers Strummer Nefferdorf and Michael Eibel releasing a box turtle that had been hit by a car and healed at our center. Box turtles always must be taken back to their exact point of origin once they have recovered or they will be unable to hibernate and will die over the following winter, so we have a great team of volunteers who drive them all over the Delaware Valley to ensure they return from whence they came.
