Brake For Turtles! Each year at this time female turtles leave the water to lay eggs.  In many places around Southington this involves crossing roads and many are killed.

Please be alert while driving during the next few weeks for turtles crossing the road.  You can help the turtle in the direction it is going if it is safe to do so.  Beware of snapping turtles though, they may not appreciate the help.  They will bite and have surprisingly long necks.
