Farewell Kim Turner Kim Turner has spent the last 10 years developing ACNC's animal care program to include a higher level of professionalism through extensive research and training. She helped to facilitate the design and implementation of the Pamela A. Westrom Wildlife Habitat which allows ACNC to house up to four non-releasable birds of prey.
Kim has also been instrumental in the design and branding of the organization by bringing her incredible artistry to our t-shirts, website, educational signage, and more. Thank you, Kim for your many years of dedication! |
