On Friday, June 13th, 20 PVMA members will join Gumbo Limbo staff and City of Boca raton officials to release turtle hatchlings into the ocean and watch for nesting Loggerhead turtles on Red Reef Beach! We will be walking with several City of Boca Raton officials, FAU administrators and local entrepreneurs to learn how we can all do our part to protect Florida's sea turtles. This will be a wonderful PR event for the club and FAU students to strengthen their relationship with he community and with non-profits such as Gumbo Limbo Nature Park.
Tickets for this event will cost $9 per person. The money will go directly to Gumbo Limbo to support turtle conservation. THIS EVENT IS NOW CLOSED TO ALL BUT THOSE WHO SIGNED-UP ON MAY 20TH.
Be sure to arrive 15 minutes early in front of the Gumbo Limbo Environmental Complex, wear comfortable clothing and footwear that can get wet, bring a sweater if you get cold and bring water to stay hydrated. Please no flashlights, flash photography or cell phone use during this event as these items can spook the turtles.
If you have questions or concerns regarding this event, please contact Christie Gonzalez at CGonza48@fau.edu.
