Happy together: Orphaned turtles and kids who set them free

A turtle crawls through the grass at the Wetlands Institute in Stone Harbor, N.J., Wednesday, June 8, 2022. A class of kindergarten students released 17 turtles that were raised from the eggs of female turtles that were struck and killed by cars. The program run by the Wetlands Institute, Stockton University and Stone Harbor schools has returned thousands of turtles into the wild over the past 25 years. The turtles were either rescued from dangerous places like roadsides or storm drains, or were raised from eggs of turtles killed by cars. (AP Photo/Wayne Parry)
