Do you love crafting? At our fundraising events, we showcase beautiful, crocheted sea turtle toys, lovingly made by our dedicated volunteers. These are our symbolic hatchling adoptions, and each turtle comes with a tag explaining who the mom turtle was, when the nest was laid, when it hatched, how many eggs were in nest and how many hatchlings emerged. We also use the turtles as gifts for symbolic sea turtle adoptions. If you’re eager to lend a hand in preparing for our upcoming events, we would be thrilled for you to sign up and participate. We also have amazing rewards waiting for you as we appreciate your time and effort – check out the rewards levels below 😊 There’s no need to be on St. Croix to participate – you can volunteer and join this club no matter where you are in the world!
