🚨 INVASIVE SPECIES ALERT 🚨 You’ve probably seen these turtles in local ponds and rivers — but Red-Eared Sliders don’t belong there. Native to the southern United States, red-eared sliders have become one of the most invasive turtle species worldwide. When released into the wild, they outcompete native turtles for food, basking spots, and nesting areas. They can also spread diseases that our local turtles aren’t built to fight. Many red-eared sliders in Ontario waterways are former pets that we
