2023 Turtle Conservation Project Begins!

The Carp Hills area turtle conservation project started monitoring on 3 June with three observations: one Snapping turtle and two Blanding's turtles.

Our four monitors are driving specified roads and walking specified areas looking for nesting turtles in order to protect the eggs from predation.

Friends of the Carp Hills are working with the Canadian Wildlife Federation, who provided training for the monitors.
