Engaging Minds and Cultivating Conservation: Educational Outreach and Volunteer Partnerships
On March 6th, Manci, the Assistant Director of Education at the Turtle Conservancy, brought a wave of excitement to the Chadwick School as she visited to enlighten both 3rd and 1st-grade classes about the fascinating life cycle of turtles. The classroom buzzed with curiosity as students eagerly listened and participated in discussions, their eyes wide with wonder at the mysteries of the turtle world. Manci's interactive approach not only brought the subject to life but also allowed the children to see, touch, and inquire about real turtle shells and preserved eggs, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for these remarkable creatures.
Condor High School students lent their helping hands at the Turtle Conservancy, diving into tasks like habitat planting and enhancement with enthusiasm. The Turtle Conservancy extends our gratitude for their valuable contribution and eagerly anticipates their next visit. We're excited to extend invitations to more schools to visit our conservation center and join us in our mission to safeguard wildlife and habitats for future generations.
