Teaching turtle Timothy is on the move! Tim is paralyzed in his back legs from what we believe was a boating accident but that doesn't stop him from exploring the lawn!

As we wrap up the 2021 hatchling season with our l

As we wrap up the 2021 hatchling season with our last nest we have been reflecting on all the amazing turtles we released this year. One of the more exciting nests we found was a northern map turtle nest! Map turtles have more specific habitat requirements than many of Ontario's other turtle species; they prefer large bodies of water and nest in closer proximity to the shore. We are grateful for the opportunity to release these little hatchlings and hope to see more next year!⠀

Hatchlings are officially out and near roads. Watch for tiny moving "rocks" with tails and move them to the nearest body of water. Never relocate a turtle or take one home, all turtles are in jeopardy and if trends aren’t reversed they will face extinction. If you see an injured turtle, there is still hope, don’t leave it to suffer- retrieve it, note it’s exact location, and call the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre at 705-741-5000. Be a turtle hero and help our locals! ⠀

Having trouble identifying this oddly coloured hat

Having trouble identifying this oddly coloured hatchling? This is a hypomelanistic snapping turtle hatchling! Hypomelanism is a genetic mutation that results in a partial lack of melanin (the natural pigments, of the skin or hair). This means that an animal with hypomelanism will be paler than normal, just like this snapping turtle!⠀

Happy Labour Day long weekend! Whether you're gett

Happy Labour Day long weekend! Whether you're getting ready to go back to school or getting away for the weekend we hope that you find some time to relax and enjoy the remaining days of summer! It won't be long until turtles start travelling back to their overwintering sites and you will begin to see them on the roads again. If you see a turtle on the road, you can move it in the direction it was travelling (if it is safe to do so), and if you're lucky enough to see a hatchling, you can move it to the nearest body of water! ⠀

It is fascinating watching these little turtles hatch, and incredibly difficult to let them go! Being this size, we know that these snapping turtle hatchlings are up against the odds, but every turtle is critical to the population and we must do our part by releasing them. We hope that by releasing thousands of hatchlings we can help increase turtle populations and ensure future generations get to see these amazing animals! ⠀
⠀
*It is illegal to take any wild animal home as a pet and all of our turtles are handled under special wildlife permits. ⠀

What could possibly make going back to school more

What could possibly make going back to school more exciting? Going back to school with turtles! We have lesson plans with activity sheets, accompanying videos to learn from our very own Turtle Guardians, and an interactive platform to share your work with other students! Lesson plans include math, science, language, geography, mental health and fitness, visual arts, and so much more! And coming soon... lessons using Indigenous Traditional Knowledge!
