We also have 'Watch 4 Turtles' signs (wooden and coroplast), car magnets, bumper stickers, window clings, pin-back buttons, and other turtle-related merchandise available for purchase. 

Supporting Conservation

Proceeds from Think Turtle merchandise sales after costs go towards the education initiatives and species recovery efforts in which the Think Turtle Conservation Initiative is engaged.  

Crafting 4 Turtles Items

A selection of wonderful 'Crafting 4 Turtles' (C4T) handcrafted items, including crochet and knitted animal stuffies, including turtles, greeting cards, beaded bracelets, sewn items, and so much more, is available for purchase. The proceeds from all C4T sales will go towards treating and caring for injured turtles admitted to the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre, home of Ontario's turtle hospital, this turtle season.

Please remind everyone in your household and visitors to be mindful of the wildlife we share the roads with. They are our partners in protecting the ecosystems we depend on and benefit from.

We eagerly look forward to seeing you at the Bancroft Farmers' Market. We can't wait to share this exciting event with you. See you there :)
