Community Meetings

Held monthly during tortoise season in Las Vegas and other times throughout the state these meetings are designed to interest potential adopters and to support the needs of tortoise custodians with science and experience based on the latest available desert tortoise care information.

Community meetings are free to attend and open to all. There’s always time for questions and tortoise food available for purchase and usually a special guest speaker to educate us and inspire advocacy.

See EVENTS PAGE for our meeting schedule and locations.
