🐢Earlier this month, an aquatic turtle sampling event was conducted by the Turtle Survival Alliance North American Freshwater Turtle Research Group at @OrangeCoParksFL's #KellyPark #RockSprings. Volunteers hand-captured turtles as part of a long-term population study. Forty-one turtles, including the Florida softshell turtle, common snapping turtle, peninsular cooter, red-bellied cooter, loggerhead musk turtle, eastern musk turtle, and yellow-bellied slider, were marked, had their biometrics recorded, and then released.

Wow, #KellyPark reached capacity today and our local spring break hasn’t started yet!

There’s been a lot of confusion about changes in the law related to altering or obscuring license plates that took effect in October and can now result in significantly increased penalties. Florida Statute 320.061 has been updated to make it illegal to alter or cover any readable information on your issued license plate and registration decal, including: ◼Vehicle Registration Certificates ◼License Plates ◼ Temporary Tags ◼Mobile Home Stickers ◼Validation Stickers It Is Illegal to: ◼Mutilate, deface, change the color, or otherwise alter any of these items ◼Put sprays, coatings, covers, tints, frames that obscure the license plate information, reflective materials, or illuminated devices on or around your license plate ◼Place anything on or around the license plate that interferes with the legibility, visibility from angles, or detectability by law enforcement or toll and traffic cameras Penalty: Knowingly breaking this law is a second-degree misdemeanor, punishable by a $500 fine and up to 60 days in jail.
