The Sweetbriar Nature Center will be holding their Turtle Walk event on June 5 and 6, 2021 from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m.

Come join them at 62 Eckernkamp Dr. in Smithtown to meet and protect some of the non-releasable turtles in the fields. 

Presentations begin at 9:30 a.m. behind the main house and face coverings are required. Be sure to wear closed-toe shoes and long pants to protect yourself from ticks, as you will be walking through tall grasses.

Kids will have the opportunity to meet some of Sweetbriar’s resident, non-releasable turtles. They also have the option to take a coloring sheet with them home, or even color at the center!

Sign up for this Turtle Walk today for $10 per person here. You can also bring cash and pay when you arrive. 

This Nature Center is located on 54 acres of land along the Nissequogue River and is home to various species of plants and animals. Sweetbriar Nature Center is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing natural science education services to all of Long Island. It is open year-round from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and offers various programs and events for all. To learn more and stay updated on their offerings, visit their website or call at (631) 979-6344.
