Helping turtles cross the road? There’s an app for that, thanks to these Minnesota sisters
Each spring, Minnesota’s turtles follow ancient instincts—crossing roads to nest in the same spots their mothers once did. Too often, they don’t make it. Tired of witnessing crushed shells and missed chances, two sisters turned heartbreak into action. With TurtlTracker, they’re using tech to empower everyday Minnesotans to protect these quiet travelers. It’s simple, grassroots conservation—backed by data, driven by community, and fueled by hope that small efforts can add up to big change. Even if it starts one turtle at a time. Cathy Wurzer and Gracie Stockton with MPR has the full story.
