Do YOU know about spotted turtles? Nestled in shallow wetlands across the east coast of the United States and up into the Great Lakes region, spotted turtles disappear into the sun-speckled waters they call home. In fact, many people may live in a region with these turtles without ever spotting one! Their elusive nature has helped them survive for centuries, but it also makes it that much easier for population declines to go unnoticed. That’s why we’re keeping an eye on them in our Francis Mario

Have you ever wondered how snapping turtles mate? We got you. As waters begin to warm, so do the hearts of snapping turtles. Mating can occur during spring through fall - eggs are usually laid in summer. The female snapper can store the male's sperm for several seasons, using it when necessary to fertilize her eggs. These gnarly scavengers are a vital part of healthy wetlands and aquatic habitats, and they aren’t shy about sharing their business. Video: Erin Huggins/USFWS Video description: A ma

You can help save the turtles 🐢!! Western Painted Turtles are the most widespread native turtle species in North America, yet they’re endangered due to habitat loss, road mortality, invasive predators, and pollution. These turtles travel between wetlands and upland nesting areas. Unfortunately, that means crossing roads (especially in spring and summer) which is a huge risk for being run over. Nesting females and hatchlings are particularly at risk. If you see one on the road, you can help ➡️ M

A while back, “Oregon Field Guide” featured a rare urban population of Western painted turtles discovered in a wetland in Gresham. These native turtles are so colorful, they look like someone painted on them – hence their name.

Look out female turtles are on the move! 🐢 We are currently in nesting season for the snake necked turtle. Females make a long journey from the wetland to lay her eggs. Often crossing footpaths and roads that seperate the water from nesting sites. It’s important that we slow down around wetlands on both paths and roads to help keep them safe. If you do see a turtle on the road: if it’s safe to do so stop and wait for the turtle to cross, if you need to get the turtle out of immediate danger car

Shell Yeah! Meet Florida’s Eastern Box Turtle. While box turtles can be found throughout Florida, the eastern box turtle only occurs in the Panhandle region. These turtles may be active in Florida year-round – including warm winter days. These little turtles are known for their ability to close up their shells tightly when threatened, giving them excellent protection from predators. Unlike most turtles which use aquatic environments, Eastern Box Turtles are found in forests, grasslands, and shal

Did you know that the #ONGreenbelt’s wetlands are vital habitats for many species at risk, including the Blanding’s turtle? 🐢 Recognizable by its bright yellow throat and signature “smile,” the Blanding’s turtle depends on healthy wetlands for food, shelter, and nesting. These turtles can live for decades, but habitat loss makes it harder for them to survive and reproduce.

Freshwater wetlands are vital habitat for species like freshwater turtles — but Traditional Custodians in the Northern Gulf have noticed their numbers declining. In this video, we head out to Talaroo Station and Littleton National Park to listen to the Ewamian and Tagalaka Peoples, and explore how feral pigs may be impacting freshwater turtles and the wetlands they depend on. 🎥 Watch to learn more about why

Today, we’re celebrating turtles…gentle, wise, and wonderfully resilient. These amazing animals can live over 100 years, gracefully navigating rivers, oceans, and wetlands with quiet strength. But while they’ve been part of our planet for a very long time, their future is at risk. Pollution, habitat loss, climate change, and poaching are just a few of the threats they face every day. World Turtle Day is about raising awareness, sparking curiosity, and encouraging small actions that lead to big c

It’s turtle nesting season! You may see sliders and soft shell turtles like this one up on the grass scouting the area or even digging a hole to lay their eggs! Please do not approach as they may leave a prime nesting area if they feel threatened. Turtle do not guard or tend to their young and, due to high predation, will lay multiple clutches of eggs in a season. Hope to see you at the park! | Sweetwater Wetlands Park
