🐢✨ First Turtle Egg Rescues of the Season! ✨🐢
We’re kicking things off with an incredible start to our turtle-saving efforts!
🌿 From I.L. Thomas schoolyard: 11 Map Turtle eggs rescued
💪 Snapping Turtle stats:
• 78 eggs from one nest
• 51 eggs from another nest
That’s a total of 140 turtle eggs now safe and protected! 🥚🐢
These tiny future turtles are now being carefully incubated at Kayanase, where they’ll grow and prepare for their big moment of hatching and returning to the wild! 🌊✨
Stay tuned as we follow their journey from eggs to hatchlings 💚🌱

We are now able to effectively and safely incubate turtle eggs!

This allows us to help protect at-risk turtle nests, and ensure all hatchlings have the best chance at survival.
