About This Opportunity
Turtle Care volunteers help with the ongoing care (feeding/cleaning) of the injured turtles that are in the rehabilitation process at our centre. Often our turtle patients can spend up to a year in our care as they recover from their injuries. You must be at least 18 and be able to commit to one 3.5 hour shift per week for a minimum of three months.
Turtles are wonderful animals, but they can create quite the mess in their tanks! We are so grateful for our Cleaning volunteers for the time that they spend draining, scrubbing, and refilling turtle tanks. As our turtles heal, the water levels in their tanks are gradually increased. It takes great attention to detail to make sure that water levels are just right, basking platforms are stationed properly, and that the turtle will ultimately be encouraged to heal through living in a clean temporary home at our centre. Turtle Care volunteers handle the turtles directly. Records of the turtles weight, their current diet consumption levels, and other valuable data is kept up to date by the volunteers.
