Local Heroes NECWA received an email from Milissa, a resident of Hamilton Beach, about a baby terrapin her son Daxton had found on their lawn. Working with Krill over the phone, Milissa and Daxton relocated the hatchling to a safe area in the upper marsh. Nice work Milissa and Daxton!!!! Thank you for caring enough to act on this animal's behalf! At least 20% of all hatchlings remain in the nest over the winter. In late spring when temperatures warm, these hatchlings will emerge from the nest and move into the upper parts of the marsh. Finding a hatchling this early in the spring is unusual and was probably due to the abnormally warm weather we are experiencing. Please keep a look out for these babies in need and contact NECWA if you have any questions or concerns. Milissa and Daxton with the baby terrapin . Daxton found the terrapin on their lawn.
