About Us
Project Turtle was created with the goal to lessen the number of our native turtles falling victim to thruways and other roadways every year during their migration.
We strive to secure turtles injured in our roadways, offer rehabilitation and veterinary care and ultimately aim for these turtles to be released once recovered.
Although our main focus are car-injured turtles, we also accept sick/ distressed turtles or turtles injured due to non-car related causes, all native reptiles and amphibians, and corvids (Crows, ravens, Blue jays etc.) as we are NY state licensed and also possess federal migratory bird rehabilitation licenses.
On a very limited basis we also take exotic species.
​
Save the Turtles!
We all can play a part in wildlife conservation.
Simply noticing an injured turtle, remembering the approximate location of the animal and contacting a rehabilitator can save a life, or in the case of a gravid female: many lives!

Catskills and Hudson Valley of NY
