Book Club: Of Time and Turtles by Sy Montgomery

After reading, join us for an in-depth discussion of the inspirational work of Sy Montgomery and Matt Patterson through their volunteer efforts with the Turtle Rescue League—a nonprofit dedicated to the rehabilitation, conservation, and education of native turtles.

Following the discussion, enjoy a meet and greet with some of the turtles that call Wildlife Prairie Park home.
