The Land Between (Turtle Guardians) with the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre have announced a turtle crisis in the region and throughout Ontario. Press Release.Turtle Crisis
Why The Land Between? This is Ontario's turtle country: The region harbors more than 1/3 of all of Ontario's turtles. It is the last stronghold for Ontario's turtles and a place of hope for their future. Read more
Turtle populations are being devastated. Entire turtle populations are in jeopardy. This campaign will raise funds to support both prevention (awareness and turtle tunnel installations) and cure (education, conservation and turtle trauma unit capacity and care).
To support the campaign please donate!
You can donate directly to the OTCC for trauma care or to TLB for tunnel installation. Or donate to both and we will split the funding to both organizations and action areas, 50/50.
Sponsor a turtle tunnel
Too you can "adopt a turtle tunnel" through our sponsorship program. This way you are showcased as the benefactor of this important infrastructure that helps to save our turtles for years to come. Please contact Leora Berman at 705-457-4838 or leora@turtleguardians.com to find out more
Save the dates: Saturday May 26th to Saturday June 2nd. This is the Flowering Moon; the most active time for turtle nesting in central Ontario. We plan to walk the high risk roads of The Land Between to raise awareness and support to save Ontario's turtles. Stay tuned for more details and ways to help.
