Want to know what to do when and if they hatch. Do we move them to the water’s edge or let them try to get there by themselves. Thank you.

There are more people driving faster and without care. I take injured turtles to a friend, who rehabilitates reptiles. We have a fair success rate and return the turtles with healed shells to the same location, near their ancestral streams and rivers. Thank you for this brief, strong post.
