We're curious - do you ever wonder about the soil beneath the ground you are standing on? Probably not...but that's why we're here to tell you how cool it is.

Remember the turtle pictures that we shared two weeks ago? Austin moved a map turtle out of the way for the crew to clear this log jam along one of the ditches that we maintain.

Shoutout to our ditch maintenance team for working so hard!

🐢Turtle alert! Today our wildlife technician, Austin, carefully moved this Northern Map Turtle out of harm's way. These turtles are aptly named for their network of yellow lines that resemble contour lines on a topography map. How cool is that??
