Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park turtle patrol marks anywhere between 30-50 nests along its shores for each turtle nesting season. The natural shoreline and dune beaches are the perfect habitat for the turtles’ nests. Because the human impact has taken a toll on these gentle sea giants, turtles are struggling to survive. Our trained staff routinely monitors the park’s entire shoreline during nesting season. We are doing our part along with experts around the state and country to see that nests are protected, as much as possible and now you can too.
For a $2500 donation, you can Adopt-A-Nest. Funds will assist in providing Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park with the needed supplies used to protect their nests; it will also help pay for other resource management needs within the park. At this level your sign will be the ONLY sign on the nest. As a thank you for your donation you will receive an adoption certificate, the sign of your choice that includes either personalized sign, photo sign, or business logo (please see samples below) on the nest, a 5x7 print of sign on the nest, the full merch package which includes a critter of your choice (turtle, dolphin, manatee or gator), Friends of DWPSP t-shirt and Friends of DWPSP hat.
