We are very lucky in this part of Ontario, the Lan

We are very lucky in this part of Ontario, the Land Between bioregion, to be able to see so many turtles. It is hard to believe that most of Ontario's turtles are at risk of becoming extinct within the province, including the blanding's turtle. Helping a turtle across the road might seem like a routine task but not many people get to see these special animals so often so consider yourself lucky!⠀

As one of Ontario's smallest turtles, the endanger

As one of Ontario's smallest turtles, the endangered spotted turtle is already very difficult to find, but in the extreme summer heat it is nearly impossible! The spotted turtle has been known to do what many of us wish we could right now; hide from the heat. When water temperatures become too warm, many spotted turtles choose to go dormant rather than deal with the heat. One study in Georgian Bay recorded an individual that stayed inactive for 43 days! While I'm pretty sure most of us can't pull that off, I think we all deserve a couple of days of inactivity. ⠀

We hope everyone had a wonderful weekend, whether

We hope everyone had a wonderful weekend, whether it was long or not, and made some time to get outside! Undeveloped natural spaces are not only important for a healthy environment but they are also beneficial to our mental and physical health! Not disturbing wildlife, cleaning up after ourselves, and helping turtles cross the road are all small ways that we can help preserve these spaces! ⠀

We are very grateful to have such a wonderful team

We are very grateful to have such a wonderful team of Turtle Guardians staff this year! These are the faces behind the Turtle Research vehicles that have been patrolling the roads for the past month. With special permits we have been collecting data on body size, nests and DNA that will help us learn more about turtles and protect these incredible animals! ⠀

Our turtle researchers are still out on the roads

Our turtle researchers are still out on the roads and working late into the night! Please try and slow down when you're driving at night because you never know who, or what 🐢, might be around the corner! We are making ourselves as visible as possible but wildlife doesn't have that option! ⠀

How could you not love turtles?! Not only are they

How could you not love turtles?! Not only are they incredibly charming, like this painted turtle, but they also support healthy lakes and aquatic wildlife! When you stop to help a turtle across the road you are also helping yourself! ⠀

The Land Between ecotone is part of the Mitchi Saa

The Land Between ecotone is part of the Mitchi Saagiig Traditional Territory. We as settlers would not be here if it weren’t for the generosity and kindness of Indigenous Nations in the making of the Great Treaty. We are all Treaty People.

We are so fortunate to be able to live here in North America- Turtle Island. Migwetch to the amazing Indigenous stewards.

Happy National Indigenous Peoples Day!
