Wetlands are the fastest disappearing habitat.  Turtles are long-lived and slow to reproduce, making them an interesting subject for gauging wetland health and long-term restoration efforts.  In partnership with the TRCA, this series of studies examines:

• Population demographics of restored and created wetlands in the Greater Toronto Area  
• Colonization vectors and inter-wetland movement patterns
• Micro habitat use
• Overwintering patterns
