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

[NotAnotherHonda]

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.







and a baby armadillo that we received! he's eating really well and gettin fat
editwhy do i always have to kiss everything? whata nerd


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!!!! What a little cutie!! I'd wanna kiss it, too!


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!

[NotAnotherHonda]

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!!!

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..

[NotAnotherHonda]

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.
