Our turtle program's success depends on fundraising such as the money from our year round Adopt-A-Turtle Program and our annual turtle walks which occur during turtle season.

The colorful signs in the turtle nursery, during turtle season, mark adoptions by CEA supporters. Recent “adoptive parents” include:

Aimee Christensen: Nest of turtles.

Mary Pettit: A baby turtle.

Mimi Moreno adopted a baby turtle as a gift to her husband Ron Chandler.

William Marella also adopted a baby turtle (not pictured).
