Welcome to the Centre

Seven of the eight turtle species in Ontario are classified as "at risk." Most turtle populations are declining, and roads pose a real threat to their continued survival. The majority of turtles hit by cars are females on their way to lay eggs.

Since June of 2002 the Kawartha Turtle Trauma Centre has been working towards making Ontario a safer place for turtles. The Centre is located in Peterborough, Ontario and is a registered Canadian charity.

Seeing a turtle, basking on a log, has always been a pleasant part of visiting Ontario wetlands. These species, something we once took for granted, are in trouble and need our help.

The KTTC gratefully acknowledges the support of our many sponsors, including the Ontario Trillium Foundation.
