Two water turtles had been living in all of a large bucket behind my father in laws house for way too long, so we set about liberating them to a nicer habitat.
The area was cleared just off the back porch and other than the pump, liner, and some gravel ($150 total), all materials were scavenged from the yard or down the hill (quite the hike!).
In the end the turtle seem happy and the yard is a much more pleasant place to be!
