We hope they’re safely hibernating despite wacky weather in Ontario-
Young turtles only have the first ~4 years to etch pathways in their memories to hibernation sites within their territories before their “brain plasticity” is drastically reduced.

Be careful and watch for turtles - they are on the move!
Sadly, female turtles 🐢are the most at risk because sand-and-gravel road shoulders are ideal for nesting spots.

Please don’t move snapping turtles by their tails, this can injure their spines and paralyze them. Here is a great video demonstrating proper handling techniques: youtu.be/Lgd_B6iKPxU
