800 turtle turtles rescue from storm drains - Catherine - 05-08-2021
Over 800 diamond backed terrapin hatchlings were found hiding in storm drains along the Jersey shore. They were hiding from the cold temperatures this winter.
Stockton University Head Start program will care for them until they are ready to be released to the wild.

Diamond back terrapins are beautiful

It is fantastic that they were able to save so many. I hope they all survive and make it back into the wild.
