WATCH 4 TURTLES SIGNS

HELP RAISE AWARENESS IN YOUR COMMUNITY! 

If you are looking to purchase a 'WATCH 4 TURTLES' sign they are presently available through curbside pick-up in Bancroft, Apsley and Coe Hill..  

Why Signs Are Important

Turtles can be observed crossing roads at 'anytime' during turtle season, typically April to October. April to mid July is a particularly busy period for turtles with spring hatchlings showing up, turtles emerging from hibernation, males traveling to find mates, females looking to nest, turtles foraging for food, traveling in response to a habitat disturbance or drought that causes their body of water to dry up, flooding and sometimes reasons only turtles know.   

The installation of turtle awareness signs serve as important 'visual cues' alerting motorists of potential turtle activity on the road ahead that may not be readily apparent while traveling through rural communities, cottage country, the outskirts of urban communities and on ATV trails.

Sign Sales  

Funds from the sale of each sign go towards reimbursing the costs of making/printing the signs and purchasing more signs. The Watch 4 Turtles sign initiative is not about making money it is about raising awareness.  

It would be greatly appreciated if you could share information about the Watch 4 Turtles signs with family, friends and associates and ask them to do the same. If motorists are keeping an eye out for turtles that will no doubt be taking notice of other wildlife crossing roads as well.
