We’ve officially entered one of our three Turtle crossing seasons at Roaring Brook Lake. Turtles are beginning to lay their eggs in beaches and yards around the lake; expect to see them crossing the road to make their way to their nests along the shoreline. Please brake for the turtles – they are vital to the ecosystem of the lake. And if you see any turtle struggling to cross the road and want to give them a bit of a push, read more about how to help here. Just be careful around the fully grown snapping turtles. They’re very timid and shy in the water – but they’ll get defensive on dry land! Enjoy the turtle sightings, and stay tuned for August when the eggs start to hatch…
