Guardians help monitor and protect our oldest relatives.
Guardians report sightings of turtles to help biologists understand if turtle populations are stable or declining, to let biologist know where to put crossing signs, where to install turtle tunnels and to help biologists save wetland habitats too. Guardians also monitor wetland habitats, conduct turtle tunnel assessments, lead turtle conservation projects, and conduct research. Guardians have access to mobile apps, workshops, camps, curriculum, software and social platforms.

The Turtle Guardian Program delivery area for workshops, training, and research is focused in The Land Between– a region harboring the highest density and over 1/3 of Ontario’s turtle population.
A Group Effort
The majority of turtle-conservation groups are cooperating under Turtle Guardians to help turtles. By joining efforts, we can better support turtle conservation and research in Ontario – and Turtle Guardians get access to more resources too. The Land Between charity and Scales Nature Park are the backbone of this effort providing core services and delivery and our amazing partners add so much benefit too. Turtle Guardians has also received invaluable funding support from the Ontario Trillium Foundation to grow this program across the province!
