Join us in the height of Sea Turtle nesting season to get an immersive, behind the scenes experience of Sea Turtle conservation on the Georgia Coast. Our Turtle Workshop aims to provide an opportunity for interested guests to engage with conservation beyond the daily Naturalist led activities, including dawn beach patrols, late night beach walks searching for nesting mothers, and guest researcher led talks. Participants will have the opportunity to observe a nest identification and exclosure, as well as participate in data collection and learn about active research projects. Join us for an unforgettable foray into beach field research, and for a chance to encounter these creatures at a critical step along their immense journey.
Enjoy all the wonders of a stay at Little St. Simons Island has to offer, including two sessions of guided Naturalists activities a day, with the addition of our Turtle Workshop activity offerings.
Please note that this event will be open to guests of all ages, but will require the ability to bike up to 6 miles of beach, and walk up to 2 miles over sand in the dark with only red lights to guide. Workshop activities will include early morning beach patrols, which will aim to leave the lodge compound around 5:30am to match sunrise, and late-night beach walks, running between 9:00pm and midnight. Presentations will also be given covering Sea Turtle biology, conservation here on LSSI and the wider Georgia coast, and the ongoing research we participate in.
