turtles

I was walking my dog the other day when I was surprised by the object that you see in the photo above. At first I thought that someone had put a large rock in the middle of the grass, but upon closer inspection I realized what it was pretty quickly:

To put a dent in the number of road casualties, The Wetlands Institute and other local groups install and maintain tubing as a barrier between bodies of water and the road.

If you live along coastal areas of the Jersey Shore then you probably have seen our slowest travelers ... turtles. Now through August is the time when many Turtles will be making their way around the shore. Over the past several years there has been more and more attention to keeping these "slow pokes" safe as they cross area roadways...

Do you brake for turtles ?
