Turtle season is here! 🐢
From mid-May to early July, turtles across Massachusetts are on the move—searching for food and nesting spots. You might spot them crossing roads, wandering through backyards, or showing up in unexpected places as they look for resources they need to survive.

If you see a turtle on the road:
🐢 Stay safe first! Do not risk getting hurt or causing harm to others by unsafely pulling off the road or dodging traffic.
🐢 If you can safely move the turtle, place it off the road in the direction it was heading.
🐢 Do not take turtles home or move them to a “better” location – they should not be moved more than 100 yards from where they are found.
🐢 Handle with care by grasping gently along the shell edge. If you must move a snapping turtle, use a broom to coax it into a plastic tub or box.
🐢If you find a turtle in your yard, leave it be and keep pets away. Give it space as it passes through on its journey.

Let’s help keep our turtle friends safe this season! Learn more at bit.ly/turtle-crossing
