SAFE Update: 25 New Turtles 🐢

We're thrilled to announce that we've just received 25 new Eastern Box Turtles from the Lincoln Park Zoo . As members of the SAFE North American Turtle program, we collaborate with partners across the country to rescue native turtles from the illegal pet trade so they may be returned to their wild home. While geneticists track their home territory, long-term holding facilities like ours care for these animals and treat any diseases they've contracted along their journey.

We're thrilled to be partners of such an important program. Thank you for helping us protect one of nature's most amazing creatures!

Summer Camp Rewind ⏪

It's the last day of Summer Camp! While we're so sad to see our campers go, we're proud of all the memories we shared.

From making new friends to discovering the wonders of the natural world, our campers have had an unforgettable summer.

Summer Camp Director Elle Walker says it best: "It’s been a fantastic summer! Every single week, I’ve had parents share with me how their camper is blossoming in ways they’ve never seen before with increased confidence and resilience."

Thank you, campers, for making this our biggest summer yet!

Thank you to our 2026 sponsors: Volkswagen Chattanooga, McKee Foods Careers, and Gearhead Outfitters TN.
