🐢 Oh SNAP! Did you know we have an abundance of snapping turtles in Ellanor C. Lawrence Park?

This time of year, these prehistoric looking creatures are also busy building nests and laying eggs. But watch out! They have powerful jaws and can be especially combative out of the water. If you see a snapping turtle, give it plenty of room!

The turtles are fertile
This year, I hear.
Look but don’t touch,
And don’t come near!

ECLP staff has fenced off existing nests in and around Walney Pond...please do not disturb these creatures and stay back from fenced off areas.
