Just completed my first turtle rescue of this season. While my neighbors volunteer to help the sea turtles, I help the freshwater turtles who are trying to cross the busy road in front of my house get to the pond behind my house. Fortunately, a landscape contractor saw me running out and paused their truck in the road to help but other folks drove past without a thought. All this for an eastern chicken turtle that turns out to have a conservation status of “least concern.” Oh well…
