I had a great experience with this class and loved the volunteer work. I volunteered with my group at Nolde Forest and we were in search of turtles. My group went to Nolde for the first two days together and we learned about different types of turtles and how and what to do if we find one. I went to Nolde three times and spent about two hours each time hiking the trails and looking for turtles. I even went to the painted turtle pond and thought there would be some turtles sun bathing on the wooden logs but unfortunately I did not find any turtles throughout my trips to Nolde Forest. I searched in the leaves and a little off the trail but did not see any turtles. I also, went on different days of the week and at different times along with a change of weather. I found it very interesting to learn about the different types of turtles and what their markings mean. However, I did find many other animals and got to see other things in nature, jut no turtles. I love being outdoors and hiking, therefore this volunteer work was the best for me. I would recommend this course and this volunteer work to anyone. I hope that one day, if I go back to Nolde Forest that I will find a turtle.
