Spot a turtle? Report it at Ontario Turtle Tally: http://www.torontozoo.com/adoptapond/turtletally.asp
We have many turtles around Lake Clear. If you come across an injured turtle there is a hospital in Peterborough at the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre. They admit turtles from across Ontario. If you encounter an injured turtle please call the OTCC at 705 741-5000. If you are not able to drive the turtle to the OTCC they will arrange a ride via their "Turtle Taxi" volunteers. Visit ontarioturtle.ca for more information. In 2018, 936 turtles were admitted, 90% struck by a motor vehicle.
