EARTH FAIR - BALBOA PARK

April 19th

Earth Fair in Balboa Park was attended by tens of thousands of people.

Our booth was manned by Jessica Niehoff, Rich Rinde and Gary Burrows -

all who fielded many questions, shared lots of turtle stories and generated

public interest to our Society. This event annually gives us the largest

exposure to the public.

 

 

 

EXCELLENT TURN-OUT FOR

3/28 DESERT TORTOISE SEMINAR

 

The March 28th SDTTS Desert Tortoise Seminar was a fantastic success.

Presentations were made by Michael Conner from the Western Watershed Project,

Dr. Todd Driggers of the Phoenix Herpetological Society, and

Don Williams from the California Turtle and Tortoise Club. 

Desert Tortoises were on exhibit.  And there was a live demonstration of Desert Tortoise banding.

 

     

The turnout was excellent, with someone from the Elks Lodge reporting to me that there were over 140 in attendance. 

The Poway Elks did an excellent job of serving a great lunch to all.
