June is National Great Outdoors Month! Whether you’re kayaking, hiking, fishing, or just soaking in the views, there’s no better place to celebrate than within the Glen Lake/Crystal River watershed. 📷: Rob Karner (fb)

Late spring and early summer are times when turtles are moving across the landscape.The females are actively looking for nesting sites, and males also wander this time of year, moving between the lakes, ponds and streams they call home. If you see a turtle in the road while driving, slow down and try to avoid hitting it, if it is possible to do so safely. If you choose to help a turtle cross the road, place the turtle across the road in the direction it was heading. Otherwise, the turtle may attempt to cross the road again to get to its desired location once you leave. 📷: Rob Karner (fb)
