1. We Conduct Critical Research:

From Road Ecology to Emerging Conservation Questions. We lead multi year research projects to understand emerging threats, and to track turtle populations. From egg implosions, to the longest study on the impacts of roads and development on turtle populations, we work to inform the science of recovery.

2. We Work to Support Moms and New Generations:

Rebalancing the Scales and Hatching the future. Now one of the largest incubators in Canada, we coordinate the safeguarding of nesting moms, and then the excavation and incubation of eggs from vulnerable areas near roadsides, and instrument the subsequent release of of thousands of hatchlings into Nature.

3. We Design and Test Ecopassages and Infrastructure for Population Recovery:

Pioneering Mitigation Solutions. We chart hotspots where turtles need help, and design, test, and install innovative ecopassage systems as well as seasonal alert systems.

4. We Enable Road Response:

Applications and Dispatch to provide timely help.

We recruit and train volunteers to respond to emergencies and enable new technologies to dispatch to networks across North America.

5. We Teach Kids and Communities:

Everyone can be a Turtle Guardian. We provide interactive and in-depth training on turtle biology, behaviours, threats and recovery. We also provide training to police, road crews, and practitioners. And we have a Turtle Guardian Hotline to provide guidance to North America.

6. We Foster Local Leadership:

TG Zone Leaders. We quarterback leaders in communities across the continent, providing tools and infrastructure for community action.

7. We Train Practitioners and Work with Municipalities

Working Hand in Hand with Communities.  We work with Municipal Roads and Parks Departments and the private sector to ensure both humans and turtles can thrive- safely.
