In 2010, we retrieved over 60 terrapin hatchlings from North Sedge Island as part of a head-start program. Since that time, six schools raised hatchlings including: Girard Middle School (PA); Lacey Middle School (NJ); Scotch Plains Elementary School (NJ); Southern Regional High School (NJ); Stafford Intermediate School (NJ) and Paterson Elementary School (NJ). We have released headstarted terrapins back to the Sedge Island Marine Conservation Zone throughout May 2011. Thanks to the students and their teachers for making this a tremendous learning experience!
