People love turtles
Judging from the 800+ people who passed through the doors of the Kawartha Turtle Truama Centre in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada during their four hour open house, interest in how they are helping turtles was high. We’re big fans of the work KTTC is doing and are excited that so many people came out to this event. Great to see awareness happening of both their work and turtles in general. Keep up the good work, guys!
