Reno Tur-Toise Club

RENO TUR-TOISE CLUB was organized in 1991 and has members from throughout the country. Most members are in northern Nevada. The purpose of the Club is to find homes for tortoises and turtles of all kinds. In recent years, most of the tortoises placed for adoption have come from construction areas in southern Nevada. In addition to adoptions, the Club also provides rescue and infirmary services for sick and injured turtles and tortoises. Members distribute a newsletter, Tur-Toise Tales, provide educational materials to the public on the plight of the desert tortoise and other species of turtles and tortoises, offer programs to schools and libraries, and assist with the conservation of all chelonians in wild habitats. The Club meets April-November, 3rd or 4th Saturday at 1:00 p.m. at North Valley's Library, exit 73, Highway 395 North in Reno, Nevada.
