About this event
Description
We're sorry, but this activity is over. The last meeting was Saturday, August 31, 2024.
Terrific Turtles!The shallow waters of the Newport News Park reservoir are a paradise for turtles - lots of living space, plenty to eat, and plenty of places to hide, swim or soak up the sun! Did you know we have 6 different kinds of turtles in our reservoir? From baseball-size to football-size turtles (and even larger!), the Park has an amazing community of freshwater turtles to see and enjoy. Meet at the Discovery Center for the start of our "Turtle Trek" to learn all about the Park's Terrific Turtles!
For more information about this program, please call the Discovery Center at (757) 886-7916.
The program starts promptly, so please plan to arrive a few minutes before the program begins - thanks!
