A painted turtle run over by a vehicle in May is once again basking in the marshlands and waters of Williams Lake.
Scout Island Nature Centre executive director Megan A Taylor, who has a PhD in entomology, said the turtle was released on Thursday, July 11.
"All I wanted to do was get her back to the wild asap, so seeing her back in the marsh gave me such a sense of relief," Taylor said Friday.
