The New York Department of Environmental Conservation newsletter provides information and guidance on native turtles, how to assist turtles crossing the road, and reminding motorists to be on the alert for turtles crossing the road. Native turtles are on the move in May and June seeking sandy areas or loose soil to lay their eggs. DEC advises motorists to be cautious and to watch for turtles at this time of year.
