Support SCRCA's Captive Hatch and Release Program

Our native freshwater turtles may be fast asleep for the winter, but they still need your help more than ever! For this Giving Tuesday, consider donating to St. Clair Region Conservation Authority's Captive Hatch and Release Program (CHRP). Each dollar will go directly towards actions that directly benefit our native turtles, such as egg retrieval, site monitoring, habitat restoration, and more!
Biologists have noted a lack of young turtles (known as “recruitment”) in the Sydenham River which is concerning to the future sustainability of these populations and the health of the watershed. To support local turtles, the SCRCA implements recovery efforts, with a focus on the endangered Spiny Softshell turtle. Efforts have included turtle population and habitat surveys, the creation of suitable nesting habitats, and a Captive Hatch and Release Program.
