We are counting down the days until turtle season

We are counting down the days until turtle season here at the Turtle Guardians Headquarters, only 4 more months until our cold-blooded friends start basking in the sun again! If you keep your eyes open you might see a spotted turtle even earlier than that! Spotted turtles are one of the first species to become active for the season and are most commonly seen crossing the road in the early spring. They aren’t active for very long though and will usually disappear during the hot summer months. If you are lucky enough to spot this endangered species make sure you report your sighting in the Turtle Guardians app! ⠀

On those rare sunny days in January all we want to

On those rare sunny days in January all we want to do is soak up as much of the sun as possible. When turtles lie in the sun they’re trying to raise their body temperature and you’ll often see them stretching out their legs to collect more heat. With their legs stretched out there are more places for the sun to reach and absorb heat!⠀

When was the last time you saw a turtle in the winter? Have you tried looking through the ice on a pond? Even though turtles don't eat for months or come up for air, they still move around underwater! They just move very slowly...⠀

Look at all the algae on that guy! Snapping turtles spend so much time in the water that algae grows on their shell! Their carapace (top shell) often looks green because of it and the algae helps them blend in with their surroundings! ⠀

Hopefully the first few days of the new decade hav

Hopefully the first few days of the new decade have treated everybody well. To start off the year we would like to share with you an Anishinaabe Creation story! The Turtle Guardians program is part of The Land Between charity which recognizes the Land which we live on and the inherent rite of the First Nations. Sharing stories of Indigenous cultures is an important way to honour their teachings, history, and knowledge...and there are many moral lessons that we can learn from them. ⠀
We are sharing this Creation story with the permission of Curve Lake First Nation: One variation of the Anishinaabe Creation Story begins with The Creator cleansing the world with a flood to end great fights among people with only Nanabush and some animals surviving. Nanabush asked the swimming animals for help. If they could retrieve soil from the bottom of the water, new land could be created. The loon and beaver both failed in their attempts to dive to the bottom, but then the muskrat tried. In fact it is said muskrat held his breath for three days, but when he resurfaced he had died, but was holding mud in his paw. Nanabush breathed life into the soil and spread it on the willing turtle’s back creating the Earth. North America is often referred to Turtle Island for this reason. If you want to learn more about these teachings, visit the Curve Lake First Nation Cultural Centre. ⠀

What a year 2019 has been! We moved into our new Turtle Guardians Headquarters, hosted our first ever Turtle Camp and doubled our team size at The Land Between charity! We are very grateful for all of the support we have received this past year and we look forward to continuing our efforts to protect this special bioregion of the Land Between! And of course the turtles within it! ⠀

Do you have a real Christmas tree and aren’t sure how to get rid of it? Rather than throwing your tree and other live holiday decorations in the trash, consider recycling them! Many communities offer a tree recycling service and will pick them up for free and turn them into mulch for parks and landscaping! You could also add them to your own gardens to decompose naturally or provide shelter for birds and other wildlife!⠀

Now that Christmas is over it’s time to begin the clean up. Before you throw anything out, look around to see what you can save for next year! Can you reuse those gift bows and bags? You can definitely reuse those decorations! Also take a minute to read your local recycling guidelines to learn what goes where. And don’t forget about your green bin too! ⠀
