Earlier this summer, Oliver and I had the amazing opportunity to join the @OntarioTurtleCC to release a clutch of 11 snapping turtle hatchlings.
Injured turtles around ON find their way to this centre where trained volunteers look after them and ensure a safe release back home.
There’s nothing like enjoying a summer afternoon out on the water! But we need your help to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species!
Remember to Clean, Drain, and Dry your watercraft between locations.

A huge thank you to the @OntarioTurtleCC, Oliver and I had the wonderful opportunity to release a clutch of baby snapping turtles. 🐢
So far in 2024, the OTCC has rehabilitated 1,540 turtles! The staff work tirelessly to care for injured turtles, and nurse them back to health.
Thanks to @Andrea_Khanjin & Oliver for helping @OntarioTurtleCC send this clutch of hatchlings home yesterday! There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing the incredible hard work of our many volunteers, donors and staff pay off for Ontario’s native turtles!
