Barney wants you to know it's World Turtle Day!🐢🌎
Since 2000, this special day, sponsored by American Tortoise Rescue, has encouraged people to celebrate and protect turtles, tortoises, and their disappearing habitats.
Here at the Howell Nature Center, we’re proud to care for several turtle species, including:
🐢Cara- painted turtle
🐢Delilah- yellow-bellied slider
🐢Houdini- red-eared slider
🐢Emy- blandings turtle
🐢Elon- musk turtle
🐢Stinkerbell- musk turtle
🐢Rocksteady- snapping turtle
🐢Barney- eastern box turtle
🐢Sprinkles- eastern box turtle
🐢Twig- eastern box turtle
Every day, we work to provide them with the care they need and educate the community on how to protect them!
Let’s raise awareness, take action, and be mindful of our shelled friends—whether it's protecting wetlands, not releasing pets into the wild, keeping roads safe, or not keeping wild animals as pets!
You can visit our permanent turtle residents at the Wild Wonders Wildlife Park!
The Welcome Center is open Monday through Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Stop by to purchase a Nature Pass! 🐾✨

Emily Margaret June 28th 🎯
It’s a classic Michigan spring day—cold, rainy, and perfect for… staying in bed, right? Not for our Wild Wonders residents! 🦉🦃🦌
✨Fun fact✨ Many wild animals have natural adaptations for Michigan’s unpredictable weather. Thick fur, waterproof feathers, and smart shelters help them thrive on the wettest of days!
While the rain might have you reaching for a blanket, our animals are busy showing off their survival skills—no umbrella required. ☔🦝
Grab a rain jacket and come visit! (or live vicariously through these soggy photos)!
Wild Wonders is open to the public daily, Monday – Sunday from 10:00 am – 5:00 pm.

Love this!!
Hello Howell Nature Center how can I humanely remove these guys from my yard?
The National Weather Service, The Weather Channel, AND InAccuweather have been saying, since March, that Apr-June will be warmer than normal in MI. Really? They need to give their Magic 8 Ball's a harder shake. I don't ever remember, in my very long lifetime, a Spring this crappy.
