Turtle Taxi volunteers drive injured turtles from all across Ontario to the OTCC for medical care.
Our Turtle Taxi Volunteers enable hundreds of turtles from all over Ontario to receive life-saving treatment and care each year! We take in injured turtles from all across the province. This generous group of volunteers drives injured turtles to the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre when the person who found the injured turtle is unable to do it themselves. Long-distance trips often involve multiple drivers to get the turtle from the location it was found to the OTCC. While some drives are local, we do often receive calls regarding turtles from farther away that are in need of transport. So if you live far from the Peterborough area, or you commute on a regular basis you can still help out!
How it works:
Your name and email address will be added to our turtle taxi driver email list. This list receives emails about turtles needing rides and you only have to respond when you are available to do the drive! Turtles will be transported in enclosed containers – drivers do not need handle the animals directly. Interested volunteers do not need to have any experience with turtles to apply, but must have access to a vehicle.
