Read about the turtles

In early March, the retention pond next to the Potomac Science Center needed to be emptied to make changes to the drainage system. George Mason volunteers like environmental science major Rylee Ledoux helped relocate 60 turtles from the pond including painted turtles, red eared sliders, cooters, and a large snapping turtle.
