For a one-time gift of $350 you will be helping to protect, conserve, and restore the waters of Georgian Bay, home to hundreds of species of flora and fauna, including fifty species at risk.
 
The beloved Blanding's turtle, who live throughout Georgian Bay and much of southern and central Ontario, are threatened due to pollution, habitat loss, and other types of human interferance. This turtle is slow to sexually mature and breed, so the loss of females due to road traffic and predation is especially impactful to their population. 
 
At Georgian Bay Forever, we work to conserve the Blanding's turtle's natural habitat, and educate the public as to how we can all reduce added pressure on this vulnerable species.
