It may be cottage season but it is also turtle nesting season; not only are turtles on the road this month but so are our field staff! We are working hard to keep turtles safe and protect future generations. Where humans are present there is an increased number of predators and very few nests go unharmed. To prevent the eggs from being eaten we cage nests and excavate those in unsafe locations to put in our incubator until they hatch! ⠀

There is hope for injured turtles on the road; turtles are incredibly resilient and can often recover from serious injuries. Call the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre at 705-741-500, home of the Turtle Hospital, or the Turtle Guardians Headquarters for further instructions.⠀

It's turtle nesting season and we have had some pretty cool Nest Sitters this year!⠀
Alexis is a 10 year old Turtle Guardian from Haliburton who just finished her Nest Sitter training this year. Earlier this week, we got a call from Alexis about a nesting painted turtle at the side of the road. Alexis provided us with the exact location and marked the area well for us so we were able to find the nest easily and excavate the eggs! Turtle nests are at an increased risk of predation in areas where humans are present, significantly limiting the likelihood that the eggs will survive and hatch. In order to prevent this, our team excavates any nests that can't be safely caged, and brings the eggs to an incubator where the eggs will hatch. Later in the season, the hatchlings will be released in a wetland close to their nest. Alexis is helping us save Ontario's turtles and will be able to join us when we release the hatchlings in a couple of months! ⠀

Happy June/Turtle Season! June is probably the bus

Happy June/Turtle Season! June is probably the busiest month for turtles on the road; when the weather is right, females emerge from their wetlands and travel to a find a nesting site. In southern Ontario, this usually involves crossing at least one road, and puts turtles at risk of collisions with cars. You can help turtles across the road by moving them in the direction they are travelling! And don't forget about snapping turtles, they could use some help too! Click on the link in our bio to learn how to move a snapping turtle across the road so that we can keep seeing little hatchlings like this guy! ⠀

UPDATE! Grace was spotted heading towards Head Lak

UPDATE! Grace was spotted heading towards Head Lake in front of Haliburton Highlands Secondary School this week. We sent a field team to meet Isabel, who called in her location, and took Grace’s weight and measurements under a special wildlife permit. Grace weighs 13.4 kg, or roughly 31 lbs, and her shell is 39 cm long. All of Ontario’s turtle species are facing extinction if the current trend in losses is not reversed. Older adults, such as Grace, are essential for turtle populations; they are more productive as they age and eat more vegetation spreading seeds and increasing biodiversity. Thank you Isabel and friends for helping us protect these ancient creatures! ⠀

It's World Turtle Day! Let's show some love for these incredible animals by spreading awareness, protecting their habitat, and moving them off of roads. Turtles are critical to the health of their ecosystems; they eat dead plants and animals from the water, spread biodiversity between habitats, and balance nutrients in the water. We need turtles for clean water and they need us to help protect them!⠀
