How did the turtle cross the road?
Learn how you can safely be a turtle hero!
Join the Prince Edward County Field Naturalists to learn about local turtles, where they live, and more. We’ll talk about the challenges turtles face in safely crossing the roadways, and then you will use cardboard, tape and other materials to build creative ways to cross the road. We’ll also practice safe ways to move turtles across the road when needed.
