Native Turtles Find Sanctuary in Bay Ridge

turtle2Many turtles once roamed New York waterfronts, but today, because their habitats have been destroyed, many species near extinction. Many still find a safe home at the Native Plant Garden at Narrows Botanical Garden in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. This educational facility is open to the public, so all New Yorkers can learn to recognize and protect native turtles in their own neighborhoods. Help this group raise funds for a fence to keep the turtles safe inside and keep predators out. Donate now.
