Five of eight freshwater turtle species in Ontario can be found in Kingston including the Eastern Musk Turtle, the Blanding’s Turtle, the Northern Map Turtle, the Snapping Turtle and the Midland Painted Turtle. These turtles are all classified as species at risk and are highly vulnerable to road-based mortality. Help protect the turtles by signing the petition advocating for the placement of exclusion barriers at Highway #2 (Westbrook/Collins Creek) where turtle road mortality is remarkably high!
