Adopt a Turtle

At the heart of the Adopt a Turtle campaign is a simple but powerful goal: to protect the fragile habitats that Michigan’s native turtles—and so many other species—depend on to survive. Turtles are more than a symbol of longevity; they are indicators of healthy wetlands, clean water, and resilient ecosystems. As development pressures grow and climate impacts increase, these ancient creatures face rising threats. Your donation directly supports habitat restoration, wildlife monitoring, community education, and long-term stewardship efforts that safeguard the wild places they call home. When you give, you’re not just helping turtles—you’re investing in the future of land, water, and wildlife conservation right here in your own backyard.
