I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to combine work with my passion this past Friday. I took out the young adult program I run for an exciting turtle related learning experience. Unfortunately, we have no tortoises here, and Eastern Box Turtles can be few and far between, so turtle catching is pretty much as good as it gets

These kids really have some tough living situations and getting out in nature like this was a seemingly enjoyable opportunity that most had never come close to experiencing before.

Thanks for looking, and I hope you enjoy.

Very nice!!! Thats why it's so important to educate the young women and men of this country to be aware about turtle conservation (do's and don'ts and how to manage natural vs. invasive species.

That sounds like a very worthy project for youngsters, and a lot of fun.

Nice. Glad you have the op to do things like that.

Thanks guys!! It's funny, since I've been developing this group for 3 years, teaching them business skills, but only very recently figured out a way to tie in what I really love. Funny how that works sometimes. I think it can be tough when you love something too much and you don't want to mix the two too much or force things to fit together.
