Diane and one of her volunteers found these nine just hatched snapping turtles! She said "This afternoon I went to the Butterfly Meadow to meet another volunteer, so we could make three holes for the serviceberry which will be planted next Tuesday. We removed the large tarp and noticed the small hole with empty shells. We each proceeded to dig a hole when Justin noticed 9 small turtles who just came out of the hole. After taking photos we brought them to the big pond. After a few minutes they buried themselves in the mud. When we came back two walkers noticed another turtle on the path, which Justin brought to the pond. Rather exciting to see them. I believe more will come out from another hole. Hope they will survive."
