World Turtle Day is Now. 5/23 So Celebrate. Save a turtle. And you can do that by simply buying something at http://www.HerpArts.com. HerpArts.com will then donate 10% of your purchase to the “GREAT WALL OF WHALE BEACH PROJECT” run by Dr. Roger Wood and his students at the Wetlands Institute at Stone Harbor near Cape May, NJ. Last summer, the __-mile-long silt fence (the “Great Wall”) built by Dr. Wood’s students along a busy road stopped a huge number of terrapins from crossing that road during nesting season and getting run over by cars and trucks. THE NUMBER OF TURTLES KILLED ON THE ROAD IN THE SUMMER OF 2004 WAS JUST 1/3 OF THOSE KILLED THE PREVIOUS YEAR! AND THIS YEAR THEY WANT TO EXTEND THE LENGTH OF THE FENCE. To read more about the project, click: http://www.terrapinconservation.org Then Under Terrapin Journal, Summer 2004, read the article entitled “In the Trenches” by Ben Atkinson So enjoy. Buy yourself or a friend a gift, (it doesn’t have to be of a turtle) and you’ll automatically be giving a turtle a gift, a gift of life. CHECK OUT OUR NEW TURTLE T-SHIRTS AND TURTLE DIPLOMAS.
