Eversource training for turtle preservation to help keep its rights-of-way safe for protected species
Jun 4, 2025
As part of its ongoing efforts to provide safe, reliable electric service while being responsible stewards of the environment, Eversource today hosted its annual turtle protection program – Turtle-Palooza! – to strengthen its workers’ expertise protecting endangered turtles that call its rights-of-way home. With the support of wildlife experts and a specially trained turtle-sniffing dog, workers spent a full day in Agawam practicing spotting and safely relocating the turtles a few hundred feet away from areas where mowing or other work is happening.
