BoyScoutEmblem.jpg  Alex Holton from Troop 1810 has just completed the turtle pond as his Eagle Scout Project.  Now when we rehab injured turtles they can recover in a more natural setting and eat natural foods in this pond.  Here are a few pictures of his project.  It has been a pleasure working with such a responsible and efficient scout. We hope to have more projects in the near future.

Amber Kimmich received a young eaglet from Barb Rondeau in New Kent today.  This young eagle was found on the ground and appears to have an infection and needed to come into rehab.  It will be transfered to the Wildlife Center of Virginia the next day for further rehab.

Wyeth Pharmaceuticals won their company’s President’s award this year – it’s a big deal, not many of their facilities get this award.  They were given money to donate to their favorite environmental cause, and they picked ARK to recieve $2,500!!!!!!!  We can thank Colleen and educational programs she has done for them in the past.  They really liked her programs and what we do as rehabbers.

The flight pen is under new construction and should be better than ever in just enough time to put ARK's young hawks and owls in for their exercise and release preparation.  Hope to have pictures of it's completion soon.
