If you find a baby turtle, the best course of action is to relocate it to a safer, more appropriate environment. If the turtle appears healthy and active, and you know of a nearby water source, gently place it on the bank a foot or two away from the water, allowing it to enter on its own. If it seems injured or in immediate danger, contact the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre or a local wildlife rescue organization for assistance

From the Cornell Lab of Ornithology:
Birds spend lots of energy building nests—some songbirds can build an entire nest in the space of a single day! One thing you can do to help birds during the nesting season is to gather nest materials in your yard for easy access. Each species has their own preferences for material, so providing items that are already found in nature is the best way to keep birds safe and give them the best chance at success. NestWatch, our nest monitoring project, has this advice:
DO provide:
Twigs, moss, untreated grass clippings (free of pesticides, fertilizers, or other such chemicals), straw, leaves, lichen, rootlets.
Try to AVOID:
Dryer lint, yarn, string, hair, pet fur (especially if the fur has been treated with shampoos, flea/tick treatments, etc.).

As Canada heads into a federal election, we’re calling on all political parties to stand up for our country by committing to protect and restore nature.
“Our economy will prosper, and our society will thrive, only if we protect our shared natural heritage,” said Akaash Maharaj, Director of Policy at Nature Canada. “This means protecting and conserving our lands and waters, halting species extinction, and protecting carbon-rich landscapes. Canada can not afford to cannibalize our natural assets to benefit the few today, at the expense of the many over generations to come. We must stand up for Canada.”
