Replies(8) (Courtesy Dell Cullum) EAST HAMPTON, NY — Volunteers stepped forward to save some turtles from a pond being dredged in East Hampton. According to Karen Testa, founder and executive director of the Turtle Rescue of the Hamptons group, said a good Samaritan called to tell her about the ongoing work at Town Pond in East Hampton; he said there were turtles still in the pond. Mayor Jerry Larson and East Hampton wildlife expert Dell Cullum, among others, met to map out a plan. Subscribe Testa said she'd gotten calls from people who were concerned after they'd seen turtles "scrambling" from the site. "They personally saw turtle tracks in the mud," she said.
