Aurora’s turtles deserve a future. We’re a small, volunteer-led group working under Scales Nature Park to protect nesting moms, safely excavate eggs when needed, and respond when turtles are in danger on roads and trails. With each season, we save more lives — and we won’t stop until crossing a road isn’t a life-or-death gamble for a turtle.

• Our heart: Protect mamas, rescue on roads, and give hatchlings a fighting chance.

• Our approach: Monitor nests, install protective measures, and excavate under permits when conditions demand it.

• Our promise: We show up — day, night, and during the messy moments no one else sees.

Turtles carry ecosystems on their backs. Most of Canada’s native turtles are at risk, and it can take decades for populations to recover; prevention and local action matter.
