Never Give UP: Learning about Helping Turtles

Several years ago Jan Everett wrote a children’s book about a turtle trying to cross the road called Never Give Up.

There will also be a collection of replica turtles native to the area for kids to learn about. Fun for all ages!

Adapting Amphibians

Did you know that some frog species can survive the cold winter months by freezing almost completely solid? Or that, salamanders can grow another tail after it has been lost to a predator? These are just some of the many amazing adaptations that amphibians possess to help them survive day to day, and a preview of what this program is all about. Come on by and check out our life-like amphibian replicas and join us as we lace our hiking boots and go on an amphibian adventure at the Sand Hills!

At Risk! Disappearing Reptiles

The Long Point-Norfolk region boasts a remarkable diversity of reptiles including 19 species of turtles and snakes. Unfortunately, many reptile species are considered ‘Species at Risk’. This program will not only educate about the daily challenges these animals face but also will help alleviate any misconceptions and fears around reptiles, especially snakes. We will bring along a variety of life-like turtle and snake replicas which should help prepare us for a walk in search of these fascinating animals.
