Phase one of the project involved installing the perimeter fence, security systems, and special climber proof animal inclusion fencing around the existing on-site ponds. The addition of flood control gates and aeration windmills controls water level, temperature, and oxygen levels, giving the turtles the best chance at living the best life in the sanctuary.

Phase two involved expanding and hardening the ponds, blazing new maintenance roads, and installing security systems to keep our pond inhabitants safe and healthy.  

We are now entering phase three which involves constructing maintenance buildings to store equipment, greenhouses to grow food for the turtles, and eventually staff housing.
