Groups to move box turtles from ICC site

Box turtles in the path of the looming Intercounty Connector are getting a second chance.

“What we?re doing is moving turtles out of the area prior to clearing for construction,” said Holly Shipley, the environmental compliance specialist for the ICC, a highway that will link Interstate 95 in Prince George?s County with Interstate 370 in Montgomery. “We?ve gotten transmitters to put on the turtles collected to start tracking them.”
