In our Nature Center and Garden, it is inevitable that children encounter both the beginnings and endings of life. From plants to insects and birds, they see the full cycle of life and death. In December, however, an animal that they had more contact with was killed - one of the turtles in our Reptile Refuge became the victim of a hungry raccoon. Courageous Rudolph Niemes put up a good fight, but in the end the raccoon was too much for him and he died. The Garden Helpers buried him and sang him over the Rainbow Bridge. He led a good life and he will be missed.
