Event description
Come help us construct a gopher tortoise burrow for Genbu in his new enclosure. Genbu is a rehabilitated gopher tortoise who is an ambassador for our education team that teaches the importance of gopher tortoises in Florida. We will be using shovels, cinder blocks, and treated lumber. Tools, gloves, and water will be provided. This program is suitable for adult volunteers. Please bring a water bottle, wear closed-toed shoes, and dress for construction outdoors. We will meet here at the new Education & Volunteer building, next to the NEST, at Robinson Preserve. For questions, please contact Volunteer Coordinator Matt Tschirgi at (941) 748-4501 ext. 6035 or Matthew.Tschirgi@mymanatee.org
