Algoma District Wood Turtle Project

In 2006, Hydro One Sault Ste. Marie implemented a joint project with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, the University of Guelph and the Community Involvement Fish & Wildlife Program (CFWIP) to determine wood turtle critical and suitable habitats in the District of Algoma, including areas near our transmission lines. Information was gathered to be used in managing this highly diverse multi-use area so that the wood turtle population will be protected and sustainable in the future.
