Help a Turtle Cross the Road
The Nature Conservancy of Canada is asking motorists to look out for vulnerable turtles on our roadways. Road surfaces provide an attractive source of warmth for these cold-blooded reptiles, particularly in the spring and early summer. During this time, turtles are mating and nesting; in late summer and early fall, newly hatched turtles are travelling from their nests to nearby wetlands.
The Nature Conservatory of Canada has an informative video and tips for safely moving turtles. Watch the video and read the tips here.
