Terrapin Nesting Project

Terrapin Nesting Project

From late May to early October, TNP founder Kathy Lacey jumps into her car every single Wednesday morning at 4:00 am and drives 82 miles from Philadelphia to her native Long Beach Island where she will stay three days checking on terrapin nests, caring for hatchings and helping release them into the sheltered bay area.
