- Tiny Tortoise Time! Nothing quite as cute as a tiny hatchling tortoise. They are also a sign that the desert location they are living in could be healthier than many others.

- and perhaps invasive plant species aren’t choking out quality food plants the tortoises love. If you visit, or live in the desert, do your part to keep it a great place for hatchling tortoises to live and grow up into old, successful adults. Don’t inadvertently provide food for ravens,
- and don’t use plants in your yard that could escape and grow out of control in the landscape. The wild survival of Desert Tortoises into the future is literally, in our hands. #TurtleMonth
