With assistance from live education ambassador-turtles, Lisa Browning will highlight the important work the OTCC conducts as a native freshwater turtle rehabilitation centre, and how it operates as a registered charity. As all eight species are listed as a species-at-risk federally, she will discuss the threats turtles face due to human activity and demonstrate how individuals can be involved in their protection. Learn how community effort is crucial in giving turtles a chance to carry-on their valuable role in our environment.

Lisa Browning is the Education Coordinator with the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre (OTCC), leading educational events to spread awareness on freshwater turtle conservation. Having started as a volunteer at the OTCC, she developed a passion for Ontario’s turtles and is delighted to share this passion with others.
