We planted prairies on our land. I am working to rescue local turtle populations with road signs on two highways that parallel the Mukwonago River and Jericho Creek, critical habitat areas for those nesting females that are crossing the roads from May through July. Good luck on your work! Nice to know that there are others doing so much to help the earth.Jean Weedmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523626104607479489.post-48235933833320686912010-04-09T09:24:18.198-04:002010-04-09T09:24:18.198-04:00Great save.

Box turtles are in decline nation wide, and the loss of just one individual can devastate an entire population. Always get to the cross in the direction they are headed, and make sure they are well off the road and out of view of the road. Unfortunately, there are a few people that will swerve off the road to hit them and folks that have a "finders keepers" mentality. <br /><br />Great work!!!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15954714743176563155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523626104607479489.post-52274171637662330882010-04-09T09:15:18.222-04:002010-04-09T09:15:18.222-04:00Better a turtle than a snail?Better a turtle than a snail?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04898928150200671599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523626104607479489.post-53914195242036635102010-04-09T09:06:27.679-04:002010-04-09T09:06:27.679-04:00awww turtles are so cute =) and yes you guys are v...awww turtles are so cute =) and yes you guys are very similar heheKC SWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10572130570122111763noreply@blogger.com
