Great Canadian Giving Challenge 2020
The Spotted Turtle is one of Ontario's smallest turtles. In the last 40 years, their numbers have drastically declined - 75% of the recorded 109 sites with occurrences of this species have had no recorded sightings in 20 years.
EBC is working hard to acquire a parcel of land located right on the shore of Lake Huron that is one of about 25 remaining sites in Ontario that have the endangered Spotted Turtle.
If we lose this site to urban development (and our planner assures us it is eligible for building), this habitat will be lost forever.
YOU can help to prevent this rare turtle from being another number on the list of extinct species.
CLICK HERE to help EBC protect the
Spotted Turtle site AND we will send you

In the message section be sure to indicate you want wood poppy
seeds and provide your name & mailing address.

Every $1 donated throughout the month of June enters Escarpment Biosphere Conservancy in the running to win the Great Canadian Giving Challenge prize of $20,000 which will go towards protecting land and the rare habitats it supports such as that of the Spotted Turtle, for generations to come!
