🐢 Four nests protected and counting!
What a start to the 2026 diamondback terrapin nesting season! Thanks to the dedication of our incredible Terrapin Guardians, four nests have already been discovered and successfully protected.
Every protected nest represents hope for the next generation of terrapins and demonstrates the impact that volunteers can have on local wildlife conservation.
As nesting activity continues to increase, we expect more nests to be laid in the days and weeks ahead.
Terrapin Fun Fact: A single diamondback terrapin nest can contain up to 18 eggs, with most nests averaging around 10. Every nest we protect helps give an entire group of future terrapins a better chance at survival!
Interested in joining the effort?
We're actively looking for new Terrapin Guardians to help monitor nesting habitat and protect nests throughout the summer. No prior experience is necessary - we'll provide training and support!
If you enjoy spending time outdoors and want to make a direct impact on local wildlife, now is the perfect time to get involved.

Who will help us find Nest #5?
