Chris Leone from Garden State Tortoise and theTurtleRoom discusses an exciting new in-situ project on which we are diligently working. Terrapins choose to live in areas that are very desirable for humans as living and vacationing spots, which makes roadways a very dangerous place at the peak of human travel and turtle egg laying seasons. We are doing everything we can to help these turtles to successfully lay their eggs AND return back to their brackish marshes safely.
