Turtledove Corral and Aviary

CALL FOR VOLUNTEER HELP.

We are seeing the signal of early spring weather with the recent migration of hundreds of geese back over the territory over the past month...with that we are hoping to be able to begin the work of returning the land to her original state by removing paddocks, flights and the necessary buildings.

It will be a big job that will be made manageable with the assistance of others who can help take down the fences and help us salvage the flights as much as possible
We will be needing folks to labour through some of this with me and we need some help with truck and trailer owners to make trips to Cayuga , where our beautiful residents will be cared for by a new family

We will not be starting until the weather is conducive to working comfortably out of doors. Safe ground and milder temps.

If you are able to volunteer some time....hour, hours, days, week ...on site, or driving.

I hope you wil want to be a part of this effort! And greatly appreciate any effort you can offer! No effort too small 🙂.

Minutes matter!

Nya:weh. Thank you!
Please PM me, Jacy Jean to volunteer. (hours given to students as always!)

Turtledove was done in 2020 to serve the community and provide a safe and inclusive , fear free venue for families ..

We stil have work to do here in the spring. SO volunteers will be appreciated. We must take apart our flight cages as carefully as possible and the fences .

We also have to clean out animal shelters and pull up patio stones for moving.

If anyone will come out and help with this in the nicer weather I would be very grateful.

Thank you to the many who supported us on Six Nations over hte past 5 years. We are truly grateful for what you did to help and we are grateful that our animals are together and that they are well cared for during this time that I cannot do it myself.

Sandhill Cranes over the Turtledove Corral today! Never have I seen them , and they were LOUD, and there were A LOT. This was the biggest flock that went over but there were several smaller flocks over a period of about half hour / 45 minutes. Very cool to see!

Closed permanently.
Lack of community interest in the venue and predatory problems of late. Can't keep up with the expenses or work by myself anymore. Worried about winter.

Thank you, Nya:weh to those who tried to support over hte years
2020 /2021 were great! But the years following proved overly challenging . Simply could not compete with other activities, despite our efforts to keep ours affordable .
