Where’s Willie?
Willie, the WW turtle, went to Sadie's family home during the break and started nesting. Because she's nesting it's not safe for us to move her. Since we weren't anticipating her needs in the 'wilds' of the Bernsteins' turtle pond among like minded turtle friends, we're organizing field trips for the children to visit Willie during…
Seeds and soil
