Peanut the turtle is a female red-eared slider who is famous for her figure. Her shape is the result of litter – a plastic six pack ring that she crawled through and got stuck in as a young turtle. After being rescued in 1993, she has since become the mascot for the “No More Trash” campaign.
Peanut now lives at Powder Valley Nature Center where she continues to spread the word about littering.
Bring your family to meet Peanut and learn about the many ways trash affects wildlife. Then help pick up trash along the Powder Valley trails. Please dress for the weather and be prepared to hike the long loop of the Hickory Ridge Trail (1 1/5 miles). Gloves and trash grabber tools will be provided.
Make reservations by calling 314-301-1500.
