Gopher Tortoise Move
The Polk County, FL, school board has OK'd @$77K to move gopher tortoises off a proposed school construction site.
"'It's not so much the cost of removing them, but finding a place to relocate them,' Murphy noted. At the cost of around $900 per turtle, certified specialists must come to the land and relocate them to privately-owned sites that have been approved by the state." (News source.)
