Have you seen turtles crossing the road in an area without warning signs?
Please use the form below to report turtle sightings. Your information will help us identify high-risk locations and advocate for installing turtle crossing signs where they’re needed most.
The Turtle Brigade is a team of people dedicated to protecting New Hampshire turtles from dangerous, human-made threats like busy roads.
At this time, our primary activity is installing turtle crossing signs.
Want to help us help turtles? The “Turtle Brigade” installs turtle crossing signs all around the state.

Big thanks to Manchester Ink Link for covering our Mother’s Day Turtle Brigade!
Volunteers rallied and fanned out across the region to install “Turtle Crossing” signs, reminding drivers to slow down and watch for nesting turtles.
Turtles look tough, but they are in trouble. So in 2024, we launched the Turtle Brigade — a dedicated team on a mission to protect New Hampshire turtles from dangerous, human-made threats like busy roads.
Join us Sat., March 21 as we welcome wildlife biologist Josh Megyesy and NH Turtle Rescue founders Dallas Huggins and Drew Stevens for a talk about turtle conservation in the Granite State followed by a discussion of the Turtle Brigade’s Spring 2026 turtle-saving plans!

Josh Megyesy is a wildlife biologist with the NH Fish & Game Department’s Nongame and Endangered Wildlife Program. With over a decade of experience studying and protecting NH’s at-risk turtle populations, Josh specializes in radio telemetry, habitat management, landowner assistance, and education. His work also spans other rare reptiles, amphibians, and nongame species.
Dallas Huggins and Drew Stevens are licensed wildlife rehabilitators who founded New Hampshire Turtle Rescue, a volunteer-run nonprofit based in Nottingham. As of 2025, they have provided care to over 800 wild turtles.
Their mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, release, and preserve native turtle species through individualized care, public education, outreach, and scientific research in support of imperiled populations of wild New Hampshire turtles.
Following the talk, we’ll discuss the Turtle Brigade’s action plan for the 2026 turtle season — and how you can get involved!
