🐢 Turtle nesting season is upon us! Five native turtle species, each a species at risk with dwindling populations, live in our wetlands and will nest in the surrounding uplands. The RBG enacts a Site-Specific Turtle Recovery Plan that involves education and stewardship, research, habitat improvements, and efforts to reduce adult mortality and increase population recruitment. RBG’s actions include nest protection efforts, but the turtles need your help to make that happen. Please report any of the following found on RBG properties: 🐢 Nesting turtle: nesting-in-progress is an urgent report. If the turtle appears to be digging with its hind feet or looks perched with its rear end planted in the dirt, it is likely nesting. Give the turtles plenty of space and do not approach. 🐢 Predated nest or dead turtle: It is important to report to RBG for our understanding of habitat use, nest success rates and mortality. Note: turtles spotted near the shoreline or wetlands do not need to be reported. How to report: Inform an RBG staff member or volunteer (if nearby), OR privately message RBG’s social media accounts (Facebook or Instagram), OR call RBG’s front desk (905-527-1158). Please include: Who: your name and contact information. What: the species if known, number of turtles and what they are doing. Photos are helpful to identify and locate turtles, but only take photos if you can do so safely and without crowding (and thereby harassing) the turtle. Where: as specific a location as possible. Map apps on your phone can pinpoint your exact location. When: date & time of your observation. Timely reports are key Learn more about how to report a turtle sighting on RBG property: rbg.ca/turtles (link in bio) #TurtleConservation #RBGCanada #Conservation #HamONT #BurlON

Nature’s little wonders 🐿️🐢🐟🐝 Spotted these critters on our latest hike. You can hear the frogs ribbiting in the background 🐸 The chipmunks were the cutest! We didn’t have food for them, but they sure wanted some snacks 😂 #rbgcanada #naturewalks #wildlife #naturephotography

I took a picture of Will in this exact spot years ago before there was an Evie so yesterday when we did my favourite hike I tried to recreate it but this is the one photo Will was making the least silly face but Evie is looking so sweet 🥹 Also if anyone wants to hike my favorite trail with me I’m always always down #mybabies #rbgcanada #burlingtonontario
Love a walk with my best gal ❤️ My best fellas decided to hang back and rest in the shade. Evie and I can both walk for dayssssssss #rbgcanada #longweekend #longweekendvibes #boardwalk #mydaughter #love #letsgo
Happy Victoria Day! It’s a holiday so you know I got my crew assembled for an early morning hike on my favourite trail. It didn’t disappoint my wildlife loving kids as we saw swans, and a swan on a nest! Toads. Turtles. A muskrat. Tadpoles. Wood ducks. Goslings with their parents, ‘Stinky Birds’ (whenever Evie sees a bird she calls it. Stinky bird idk why) The trails were quite busy but it was a perfect morning to be outside so it’s not hard to understand why #victoriaday #victoriadayweekend #rbgcanada #marsh #wetlands #grindstonemarsh #family #familytime #getoutside #getoutdoors #getoutandexplore #familyoffour #burlington #longweekend
