at Urban Wildlife Appreciation Day 2015.
New York City is home to wide abun­dance of wild­life. From fal­cons and salamanders to deer and seals (and of course, turtles), wildlife viewing oppor­tunities exist year-round in all of our parks and beaches. Urban Wild­life Apprecia­tion Day is spon­sored by the NYC Department of Parks & Recrea­tion and the Urban Park Rangers.

As it has for many years, NYTTS will participate again in this event. Exhi­bits will include squirrels, raccoons, coy­otes, skunks, eagles, live birds of prey, and of course, turtles provided by NYTTS.

Join us and volunteer to talk about turtles to the public. Activities officially begin at 12:00, but please join us early to help with the setup. If you would like to bring some turtles, or have questions, please write qanda@nytts.org. See a slide show of the event in 2023.

For directions see map below: by subway, take the Broadway No. 1 train to 215th Street and walk up to 218th. Turn left (west) and follow into the park.
