Turtles on the Road: How to Help
Description
As temps rise, box turtles and other natives emerge from hibernation, bustling across country roads in search of food and mates — but that means more danger for them and drivers. Conservationists urge motorists to slow down, scan for bumps or shell shapes, and if safe, gently help turtles cross in their original direction — never pushing them back or sideways. Grab them from behind, avoid bites, and wash hands afterward. A small act can save a creature vital to our ecosystem — and keep everyone safer on the road.
