Join a Turtle Walk 2018
Watch Now: Why we need to do turtle walks in Ontario? (link)
Raise awareness, funding, and hope.
Walks are held across The Land Between bioregion- home to 1/3 of Ontario’s turtles. Walks are on Saturday from 10am to noon during the most active time for turtle nesting: the Flowering Moon (the full moon at the end of May).
Registration is required. Once registered you will be provided with the route maps and our safety protocols. Registrants can also help by becoming Turtle Fundraisers. Win prizes for the most funds raised, the best turtle outfits or the best team collective. Are you part of a turtle walk team? If so, register each participant and simply let us know team member names at the check in. Or wear our “Disco Turtle 2018 swag- purchase a Turtle Walk T here. Dogs (well-behaved) are welcome.
We are looking for volunteers! Would you like to help? If so, register and contact Leora at 705-457-4838 or email turtlewalk@thelandbetween.ca
