Quechee, VT - TURTLES ON THE MOVE AT VINS NATURE CENTER Linda Conrad, VINS' Office Manager, took these photos at the VINS Nature Center at 7:30 a.m. this morning. Throughout the last week, VINS staff have noticed several wild snapping turtles on the move throughout the center grounds. Every year, the turtles make their journey up from the marsh to higher ground where they can lay their eggs. This particular mother turtle decided that this particular patch of dirt near a newly planted tree right in front of the VINS Nature Center Welcome Building was the perfect spot for her to lay her eggs.
