OK, back to today’s blog: Now that it has finally warmed up and summer is here, diamondback terrapins are nesting everywhere here on Stone Harbor Boulevard. To get here today, you saw one use our turtle ramp just recently. Also just recently on Tuesday morning, we met online with Brian Williamson of the Wetlands Institute and other Stone Harbor Boulevard residents to see how we can all work together to help the terrapins. Brian was full of helpful information and we are also excited to take some new measures to try and entice the terrapins to lay safely in our yard and hopefully feel like they do not have to endanger their lives by crossing the Boulevard.
