Handling reptiles at Mar Vista

Tanya Silva from Eco Station in Culver City donates
a rescued turtle to the pond at Central HS. Thanks Tanya!

Today at Mar Vista our friend Tanya from Star Ecostation joined us to teach us a little about plant anatomy. We looked at plant diagrams and then dissected marigolds. After we talked about plants, Tanya taught us a little about turtles and brought us a new turtle for our garden pond! We named the turtle Lucky Squirt and introduced her to her new home. And as a treat, Tanya also brought along a ball python from the Ecostation for us to look at and (for some of the braver students) hold!
