A group of local Girl Scouts recently learned about turtle conservation and took action. With the help of volunteers from the Clarkston-based Blue Heron Headwaters Conservancy (Desalee Cook, Kat Dougherty, Debbie Hendrickson, Bev Steffens, and Madelyn Swan) and their parents, they used power tools to put together 10 turtle protectors to be placed over turtle nests to prevent predators, including raccoons and dogs, from digging up the nests. The screens allow the baby turtles to escape and go on their way. Photo: Bev Steffens
