Have you noticed more turtles on the roads? Late spring and early summer are the most likely times to see a turtle on the road or in your backyard. Find out what turtles live in the Keystone state, what threatened and endangered turtles are living in our Commonwealth, and how you can help them cross the road safely. 
For years, those that install and maintain roadways were designing them to shed water and force it toward the closest steam in the shortest time possible. These actions translate to more sediment transport and pollution in our waterways. Join us as we discuss the Susquehanna County Conservation District's Dirt and Gravel Road program and how it's helping local entities protect our natural resources. |
