Gopher tortoises do so much for our ecosystems, which is why we’re starting our biggest gopher tortoise habitat enhancement project yet! 🐢 💪 Gopher tortoises need open-canopy, sandy habitats with low grasses and vegetation. In Florida, these habitats are in decline, so we’re making a few of our own! Join us as we clear overgrown vegetation, plant native species, and restore habitat for gopher tortoises on our preserve lands this fall and winter by signing up to volunteer with us: https://sccf.

We released 5 gopher tortoises this past week! Each of them we admitted to the hospital exhibiting different types of injuries. Some injuries were due to dog attacks, while others were displaced and experienced human interference. If you see a gopher tortoise wandering where you believe it doesn’t belong, please call the wildlife hospital so we can help assess the situation and help if needed. We are open 365 days from 8am to 7pm. Call 239-262-2273 for wildlife assistance. #freedomfriday #gopher

As one of the oldest living species on the planet, gopher tortoises are now threatened. Nesting season is from May to mid-July, with typical clutches of 4-8 eggs. Hatchlings emerge from the nest from late August through early November and face immediate threats. As TNC’s Sid Godfrey explains, TNC’s efforts to protect and restore the gopher tortoise population begins with collecting tortoise eggs from the wild. We thank the Mississippi Army National Guard for providing funding as well as logistic
