The many successes and achievements of WPC’s Ojibway Prairie Reptile Recovery team in 2022 are thank to the generous help from so many: our field staff, volunteers, partners, advisers and collaborators. The combined in-kind contributions to this program in the Windsor-Essex region of southwestern Ontario totaled over 495 person-hours and over $200,000 worth of equipment, supplies and other resources. Thank you to all who contributed!
