⚠️ Watch your toes

Happy Wildlife Wednesday from this common snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina) seen taking a walk in the Southern Grove area of St. Johns. This cranky little tank might have been around since before the neighborhood existed; researchers say it's possible the species can live for over a century!

🚸 Homeschool programs are BACK

Can you spot the shark teeth in the sand? Your homeschool students will have the chance to find some for themselves at our Shark Walk on Sept. 18, the first of our returning homeschool programs!

During the walk across Mussallem Beach from 9 to 10 a.m., they will learn about shark biology, common sharks in our area, local shark research, and human-shark encounters.

You can also sign up for our upcoming Homeschool Birding programs on Oct. 2 and 16. Link in the comments!
