How can we help attract turtles to safe nesting sites? Using 3D-printed models of course! Check out this cool 3D Turtle Nesting Project by TRCA's Peel Education Team in partnership with Brampton Library! #TRCA #TurtleNest #WildlifeInTheCity #OntarioTurtles | Toronto and Region Conservation Authority | Facebook

While we all wait for our sea turtle mamas to arrive, this is a great reminder our coastal shorelines are nesting habitats for many species. Painted turtles are not endangered and are the most widespread native turtle of North America with a range from southern Canada to northern Mexico. Living near slow moving fresh water, these turtles may lay 2 to 20 eggs per clutch. Thank you Gina for sharing with us! **** Reminder,
