Bolton and The Art of Conservation (http://www.artofconservation.ca). OVERVIEW: Seven of Ontario's eight turtles are listed as species at risk. The greatest threat to their survival is that female turtles are hit by cars when they leave the water to lay their eggs. It is possible to save many of these turtles, repair their shells, and get them back into the wild to lay eggs for the future. Since turtles can lay eggs each year for a century or more, every adult female is important to the population. The Georgian Bay Turtle Hospital will serve the Georgian Bay/Lake Huron watershed, the only watershed in which all eight turtle species may still be found. The Georgian Bay region supports some of the best remaining turtle populations in Ontario. Injured turtles may be brought to the hospital for treatment and recovery. Treatment will be provided through a network of veterinarians, rehab centres, and volunteers. The recovery process may take months, with care and feeding provided by volunteers. After recovery, turtles will be returned to their original location. The success of the Kawartha Turtle Trauma Centre has been an inspiration for us to undertake this effort. Scales Nature Park is donating the use of a building and land, plus some materials and labour to get started. Additional funds are needed to proceed with building and site modifications, and to purchase required equipment. Donations of materials, cash, and time are welcome! Please help us to help the turtles! Donated Music: Mechanolith by Kevin MacLeod http://incompetech.com/ Used with a creative commons license: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...
