Turtle nesting season is here (early June). Females in particular will be on the move to find suitable nesting habitats. Studies are showing that near roads, which turtles cross in search of nesting places, males outnumber females, who travel further and hence cross roads more frequently. Painted turtles are common in NH although their existence is becoming threatened by loss of habitat. If you find an injured turtle in NH, there are wildlife rehabilitators you can contact. Report NH turtle sightings here. Don't remove healthy turtles from their habitat; help them cross roads in the direction they are traveling. It is NOT a good idea to post specific turtle locations on the internet.
