Pointer
June is
Turtle Month--
Please
SLOW DOWN in the park.
If you see wildlife of ANY KIND crossing the road, please be patient and enjoy the sight as
Blue Jay is their home. If it is a turtle and you'd like to lend a hand, grasp the turtle firmly by the rear part of the shell, keeping your hands away from its face and move it across the road in its intended line
of travel.
