Conservationists have declared 2011 Year of the Turtle. The biggest threat to turtles are not other wild life, but humans. If you drive by Brookside Road in Wellesley, you will see the Turtle Crossing signs that tell you to slow down. This is a time that turtles cross the road into the Wellesley Country Club Golf Course and lay their eggs. The turtles have been here way before the golf course was constructed and they keep doing what they have been doing for hundreds of years. Unfortunately, turtles are moving closer to being in danger of extinction every year.
We urge you to slow down, and let the turtles go their way.
