We provided sea turtle conservation conversations, danced a jig for, sang songs with, read to, dug a few sample nests for a variety of groups and participated with outreach, long distance, out of area (Raleigh – Newport News) activities for several thousand children and adults during the year.
Twenty annual events from full elementary school classes to Green Teams, High School Career Day, and 4th grade class sea turtle projects blended in with the Artrageous Art Festival, the Outer Banks Summer Arts, the OBX Marathon, the Master Gardener Spring Flower Show(s) and Surfriders Big Beach Sweep.
