Painted Turtle Recovers From Cracked Shell, Released Back Into Kelowna Pond
- The Interior Wildlife Rehabilitation Society released a rehabilitated endangered western painted turtle back into the wild on 2025-07-05 in Kelowna’s Wilden neighbourhood.
- The turtle had been struck by a vehicle and cared for several weeks by the Society before returning to its original home pond near Still Pond, as Hartmann emphasized the need to avoid disease spread by returning turtles only to their native habitat.
- The turtle, found with a cracked shell that was partially floating, is now able to flex its flippers and swim well, while local experts note turtles migrate between wetlands during nesting season, urging public alertness.
- Eva Hartmann emphasized the necessity of limiting the turtles’ exposure only to elements found in their original pond to prevent the spread of disease and ensure they return to their native habitat.
- This release supports local conservation efforts by safely reintegrating an injured endangered turtle and raising awareness about the species’ vulnerability during nesting periods in Wetlands around Wilden.
