Turtle Crossing Signs Available from the District

Big thanks to Board Member Doug Maurer and his wife Leah for donating 25 turtle crossing signs. If you would like one for your yard, please contact District chair Jimmy

DeGidio at 608-921-1340, who will deliver it to your yard. The District asks that you display it during turtle nesting season (from now through August) then remove it and store it for reuse next year. The signs are free, but goodwill donations accepted to be used for a shoreland and shallows assessment scheduled this year to continually monitor and improve turtle habitat here.
