SAVE THE WORLD, ONE BABY TURTLE AT A TIME
We saw the first terrapin hatchling tracks on the SouthCoast of Massachusetts this morning. Within the next few weeks, baby turtles will begin emerging everywhere in the Northeast. Look down and save a baby turtle!

Baby Turtles Emerge from Natural Nest and Take First Breath
One-inch, quarter ounce hatchlings are most vulnerable when they tunnel out in their version of the Great Escape. They scramble to camouflage and safety in nursery habitat where they spend the first two-to-three years of their lives, the Lost Years, evading predators that consider hatchlings a crunchy potato-chip like dessert.
Poke us, email us, call our hotline (508-274-5108) if you see hatchlings and you would like advice on how best to help them to safety.
