CPAWS Café | Wood Turtles: How can we ensure the protection and recovery of this vulnerable species in Southwestern Quebec?
The wood turtle is listed as a vulnerable species in Quebec due to habitat loss and degradation, river pollution and road mortality. These turtles can be found in our region of interest for conservation, notably around the Dumoine, Noire, and Coulonge rivers watersheds.
Join Mathieu St-Laurent-Addison, Conservation Projects Coordinator for CPAWS-OV and Cénédra Poulin, Environmental Sustainability Projects Coordinator for CREDDO, on Monday, February 7, from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m., for a discussion on the threats faced by wood turtles in the region and conservation opportunities to safeguard their habitat.
We will dive into:
- Our habitat stewardship project collaboration with CREDDO, Indigenous Guardians from Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg, and MFFP
- The importance of raising awareness among forest road users to prevent mortality
- Next steps in protecting critical wood turtle habitat
The last half hour will be a Q+A for you to ask any questions.
This CPAWS Café will be in French and English.
Don’t miss your chance to join the conversation.
