About the project
The Narrows Botanical Gardens' Turtle Sanctuary is meant to harbor native turtle species that are in crisis. The sanctuary is also to educate the general public about native turtles. These turtles will act ambassadors to represent the crisis they are facing
The Steps
1. 18"" wide aluminum flasking will be purchased from a local roofing company 2. With stainless steel wire, the flasking will be attached to existing plastic barrier enclosing the sanctuary. 3. The enclosure is approximately 800 ft. in length.
Why we‘re doing it
Need aluminum flask fencing to construct a barrier in which contain native turtles within a safety area (and to keep predator animals out.)
