Why do turtles cross the road? It’s not a joke, it’s an ancient, dangerous journey. In this episode, we sit down with Leora Berman, the "turtle lady" and founder of Turtle Guardians, who has spent 20 years championing these living dinosaurs.
Turtles face massive threats from climate change and development, and because they take decades to mature, every breeding adult is vital to the ecosystem. Through Turtle Guardians, Berman has transformed Haliburton County and beyond, turning everyday drivers into life-saving volunteers equipped with shovels and gloves.
Operating one of Ontario's largest incubators, with 180 volunteers, the organization blends education, egg rescue, and innovative research, like installing "turtle tunnels" under roadways. Tune in to discover how Berman’s grassroots conservation effort uses community programming to ensure these slow-moving creatures survive and thrive.
