I got an Internship at a Refuge! (HUGE DUW)

First day Ive been able to work in a while. Finals week is comin up, blah blah blah. anyways, i went to home depot last night and bought some cheap plants. i wanted natural ones that grew here in north florida. they needed to have alot of shade and no "watering". I spent like $20 on 8 plants, then went around the refuge and picked out some nice small ones and relocated them. hopefully they will make the turtles feel a lil more like home.

it was dark out- sorry for the crappy pics.

thanks for lookin.

i wont be able to come out again for another 2 weeks cause of school, then i have to go to ohio to visit family. prolly see yall back around may 8ish. :(

Armadillo!!!! :carrot: What a little cutie!! I'd wanna kiss it, too! :P :D


The pond looks like it's coming along amazingly! It'll be turtle-heaven!! I'll bet the folks who run the refuge must be pretty impressed with how much work you're willing and capable of doing!

i dont know if they are impressed or not. the pond is out-of-the-way and no one really stops by and looks. some people who work there didnt even know we had a pond.

besides, im doing this for the ones who CANT say thanks ;)

That armadillo is a doll!!!:D

Awesome! With the rampant land development (at least around my area) it is always good to see new ponds going in.. poor frogs and toads need somewhere to breed..

yea for real. some guy just donated ALOT of land to us (over 1000 acres). so i hope we can put some of it to good use. right now, we only use about 200 yards of it.

WOW, 1000 acres? That is stunning; I am so overjoyed when I hear about things like this.. those are 1000 less acres to be built on and ruined by man :)
I was happy to find that my LLord wants to donate the land here for a nature reserve (about 300 acres.) when he dies.

went to home depot today with $40 and got some river rock. only could afford 10 bags. but i wanna make the rocks go all around the pond. ill need anout 20 more bags! anyways, i forgot my camera so i could only take 1 pic with my phone.
