Every year as the temperature start to heat up, female turtles start moving. They make their way from rivers and wetlands up to higher, drier ground to lay eggs. The turtles are usually crossing roads to get there. The DNR is asking drivers to be on the look out for turtles on the roads alongside water bodies. DNR Natural Heritage Conservation Biologist Andrew Badje says to slow down and be alert. The DNR and Department of Transportation does not recommend drivers get out to help turtles across, but Badje asks that if you do be safe and smart about it.
