🐢 Tiny Tort Release for Freedom Friday! 🐢 This hatchling gopher tortoise was found in a parking lot; concerned for its safety, the finder brought it to FWH. Our volunteer, Cora, returned it to its territory, equipped with a shovel to make a "starter burrow" so it has a safe place to take refuge. Best wishes to you, Tiny Tort, and thank you to our awesome volunteer, Cora! ✨ Did you know reptiles are on their own from the day they hatch? If you find a young reptile that is not injured, sick, or

We had two gopher tortoise releases yesterday on Gopher Tortoise Day! Both were found looking unwell and struggling. The patient from Marco Island was in our care since February 15th and the other tortoise was in the hospital since December 29th. It’s been a long time coming for these tortoises, but it was rewarding watching them be back in their natural habitat. Thank you Brittany P. for helping us with the releases. #gophertortoiseday #wildliferehab #wildliferelease #keystonespecies #threatene
