Indian River County Parks and Recreation Director Beth Powell and her team will be presenting a free educational series that focuses on gopher tortoises. These learning sessions will be held in person over the next two months and are open to anyone who wants to learn more about our tortoises and how they can help them in our area. 

They encourage everyone to attend at least the first and second sessions to become more educated on how people can protect and advocate for this keystone species.

Individuals who attend all four learning sessions will be cleared to volunteer with Indian River County to assist with gopher tortoise activities.

Session Dates, Times & General Subjects

  • August 24th, 2022, at 6:00 pm: Gopher Tortoise natural history and general information
  • September 7th, 2022, at 6:00 pm: Gopher Tortoise biology and habitat
  • September 21st, 2022, at 6:00 pm: Gopher Tortoise protection and management
  • October 8th, 2022, at 9:00 am, will be an outdoor field trip to practice conducting a tortoise survey. Location TBD.

Locations

The first three sessions will be held at the Intergenerational Building located at 1590 9th St SW, in Vero Beach. The 4th session will be held at an outdoor site that’s yet to be determined.
