This\u00a0 24\u00b2 km area was designated in 2016 as an \u201cImportant Amphibian and Reptile Area\u2019\u201d by the Canadian Herpetological Society (see Resources). The Massasauga rattlesnakes found here are isolated from other Canadian populations by over 300 km. As the only population in Canada to live in tallgrass prairie habitat, they represent an ecologically and genetically unique entity. Unfortunately, their range has plummeted 95% from 1975 to 2015, due to a history of habitat destruction, road mortality, intentional killing and illegal collection for the pet trade. Because so few individuals remain, the population is now on the brink of local extinction. We\u2019re working to reverse that.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='project-species'  class='avia-section av-bh5xk5-2a8c1d564ce5751c9213c9af5a77892c main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  species-inner-content-wrapper avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-8181'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-9488ed-090f1752f733bcddebeaa33710b0562b\">\n.flex_column.av-9488ed-090f1752f733bcddebeaa33710b0562b{\npadding:30px 0 0 0;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-9488ed-090f1752f733bcddebeaa33710b0562b av_one_full  avia-builder-el-9  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  what-are-we-doing-section first flex_column_div'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-lll5j6le-0919804347ddbd63879fd5306dd8c92a'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2>What is the Ojibway Prairie Reptile Recovery Program?<\/h2>\n<p>The Ojibway Prairie Complex and Greater Park Ecosystem (OPCGPE) in Ontario\u2019s Windsor-LaSalle region is home to several reptile species threatened by urban development, habitat fragmentation and road mortality, including eastern foxsnakes, Butler\u2019s gartersnakes, Blanding&#8217;s turtles and a critically endangered population of massasauga rattlesnakes.

implementing conservation actions recommended in the Recovery Strategy for the Massasauga in Canada (see Resources). Our focus was on population monitoring, threat assessment, and an analysis of the feasibility of population recovery. In 2015 we launched the Ojibway Prairie Reptile Recovery program (OPRREC), in order to greatly expand our previous work, establish a reptile recovery working group (see Program Partners), and begin addressing important challenges identified in the feasibility study (see Resources). Since that time, we have been busy working with our partners to enhance critical habitat, mitigate threats, conduct public outreach, protect and connect habitat, and prepare \u00a0for long-term population augmentation using techniques such as conservation breeding and translocation. A robust monitoring regime allows us to evaluate the success of our various recovery projects and to adapt techniques as required. In 2021, WPC was asked to lead the creation of a provincial recovery implementation team for the Massasauga.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-lf31nc8h-9834ec0369734f205377c7325286b58f'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-2' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-2' class='toggler  av-title-above av-inherit-border-color'  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-2' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"Results\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: Results\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: Results\">Results<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-2' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-2' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color av-inherit-border-color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><div class=\"et_pb_row et_pb_row_1 et_pb_row_1-4_3-4\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_3_4 et_pb_column_2 et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et-last-child\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_tabs et_pb_tabs_0 et_slide_transition_to_4 et_slide_transition_to_0 et_slide_transition_to_1 et_slide_transition_to_2\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_all_tabs\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_tab et_pb_tab_2 clearfix et-pb-active-slide\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_tab_content\">\n<p>Some of the highlights of the OPRREC program during the 2015-2019 period include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Invested an average of 1,130 person-hours annually conducting surveys and inventories in the field for the purpose of population monitoring, threat identification, and effectiveness monitoring.<\/li>\n<li>Submitted of over 1,820 SAR observations to provincial databases \u2013 an average of 364 records per year \u2013 to aid in the identification and protection of SAR and SAR habitat.<\/li>\n<li>Collected data on over 5,515 road killed vertebrates \u2013 an average of 1,104 records per year \u2013 to guide installation of temporary and permanent reptile barrier fencing.<\/li>\n<li>Installed an average of 287 m of temporary or permanent fencing annually to prevent road mortality or human-snake conflict.<\/li>\n<li>Conducted habitat enhancement activities within an average of 5.8 ha of Massasauga habitat annually, including control of invasive Phragmites, creation of over 155 woody debris features, and removal of over 775 kg of invasive herbaceous plants. We confirmed that SAR snakes used our woody debris features an average of 11 times per year.<\/li>\n<li>Delivered over 2235 Massasauga stewardship outreach packages\/pamphlets\/door hangers to households, businesses, and public facilities adjacent to Massasauga habitat \u2013 an average of 448 materials distributed annually.

Our major goal is to prevent the disappearance of the Ojibway population of Massasauga rattlesnakes, in order to maintain the geographic distribution, genetic diversity and ecological variation of this species in Canada. Our work is also designed to benefit several other species at risk, including the Butler\u2019s gartersnake, eastern foxsnake and many species of plants unique to Ontario\u2019s tallgrass prairies. If we are successful we will have stemmed the tide of extinction from one of the rarest ecosystems in Canada.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-lf31ny53-d1447545dd9f4e4ce6114249a698a1b7'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-4' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-4' class='toggler  av-title-above av-inherit-border-color'  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-4' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"Publications\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: Publications\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: Publications\">Publications<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-4' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-4' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color av-inherit-border-color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><div class=\"et_pb_row et_pb_row_1 et_pb_row_1-4_3-4\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_3_4 et_pb_column_2 et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et-last-child\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_tabs et_pb_tabs_0 et_slide_transition_to_4 et_slide_transition_to_0 et_slide_transition_to_1 et_slide_transition_to_2 et_slide_transition_to_3\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_all_tabs\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_tab et_pb_tab_4 clearfix et-pb-active-slide\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_tab_content\">\n<p>Choquette, J.D., T.E.
