In addition to learning about these special tortoises though crafts and activities\, families can also participate in the Gopher Tortoise Tot Trot. This family-fun run will pass by gopher tortoise burrows and hopefully give us the opportunity to observe some wild tortoises! \nSpots are limited so advance registration is required for all youth participants. \n>>> RESERVE A SPOT <<<
