The cross in question is located just before the land of Olivier Martin. The farmer came into contact with the UPA to find solutions to the erosion of his pond problems, but it was inhabited by a special tenant, a snapping turtle. "We wanted to improve the habitat and attract wildlife. We planted a flowering meadow for pollinating insects. We planted trees and shrubs. We put nesting boxes swallows and blackbirds. For the Snapping Turtle was installed two nest sites, "said Chantale Soumahoro, agricultural environmental officer with the UPA.

La traverse en question se situe tout juste devant les terres d’Olivier Martin. L’agriculteur est entré en contact avec l’UPA afin de trouver des solutions aux problèmes d’érosion de son étang, mais celui-ci était habité par une locataire spéciale, une tortue serpentine.«On a voulu améliorer l’habitat et attirer de la faune. On a planté un pré fleuri pour avoir des insectes pollinisateurs. On a planté des arbres et arbustes. On a mis des nichoirs à hirondelles et merles. Pour la tortue serpentine, on a installé deux sites de nidification», souligne Chantale Soumahoro, agente en agroenvironnement à l’UPA.

Describe what happened. Example
"Mother Blanding had made her nest between the goldenrod and bluestem outside my window late last June.
By chance we were sitting on the porch when we noticed little blandings in the same location we had seen the mother take 2 months earlier."
