The Broward Sierra Club meeting at the Anne Kolb Nature
Center will be held in conjunction with the Summer Sea Turtle
release program run by Anne Kolb.
We will meet for announcements and committee reports at 7:30pm
(doors open at 7:00) in the main Exhibit Hall, rather than in
the Mangrove Hall where we usually meet. After the reports,
those who have pre-registered will join the Anne Kolb group in
the Mangrove Hall for the Sea Turtle Program.
The program will begin at 8:00pm and feature a one-hour PowerPoint
presentation and lecture touching on the following topics: species
of turtles found in South Florida, habitat, breeding and nesting,
identification of crawls and nests, conservation efforts, past
exploitation, current management, and problems now facing sea
turtles. There will be a release of hatchlings immediately following
the program. Those in attendance will be given directions to
the beach area the night of the program.
If you would like to participate in the program, please contact
Joanne Howes, Parks Naturalist II, Anne Kolb Nature Center at
954-926-2410 x227 or <jhowes@broward.org>. It is necessary
to register and pay the $5 fee in advance in order to reserve
your space for the program. There is a limit of 50 people, so
make sure to register early to reserve a spot. |
