Did You Know?  It is OK to move a gopher tortoise across the road if you see it's crossing a road and in harm's way. Please be sure to move it in the direction it was headed. We ask that you of course be careful! Never put yourself in danger. And please never put gopher tortoises in water.  They only live on land.
For good information about the gopher tortoise regarding how to live with them, protect them and associates laws, please visit:  myfwc.com/search/#?cludoquery=gopher%20tortoise&cludopage=1&cludorefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fmyfwc.com%2F&cludorefpt=Florida%20Fish%20and%20Wildlife%20Conservation%20Commission%20%7C%20FWC&cludoinputtype=standard

If you'd like to purchase a Gopher Tortoise Crossing sign, please contact us. They're $16 each or $30 for two and part of that goes to NPFOWL as a fundraiser. 

These are 12" x 12" (16" x 16" at the points) and can be easily mounted to your mailbox. We recommend placing them on both sides so that the traffic can see it coming and going.                                                                                          Just send us an email to [email protected] and we'll figure out how to get it to you.  

Thanks for looking out for these gentle creatures.
