Sea Turtle Survival - SOLD OUT

February 17 - 6:30 – 7:30 PM
The Conservancy of Southwest Florida has one of the longest running Sea Turtle Monitoring and Protection programs in the country. What happens on Keewaydin Island during sea turtle season? Dave will demonstrate why only one in one thousand sea turtle hatchlings survive until adulthood and explain the new satellite tracking system that will let us learn even more about how to protect this disappearing species. Includes exclusive, never-seen-before photos.

Wild About Wildlife

This is an evening of powerful images and stories from over 15 years of wildlife rehabilitation work at the Conservancy of Southwest Florida. Listen to amazing stories of survival and tearful stories of loss as we look back at some of the tens of thousands of animals to pass through the Conservancy Wildlife Clinic since opening in 1979. Learn the causes of injury, how staff and volunteers treat injured wildlife, how you can help prevent injuries and why these animals are a critical part of our southwest Florida ecosystem.

Into the Future

Part of the $33 million “Saving Southwest Florida” Conservancy Capital Campaign includes a newly renovated and vastly improved Dalton Discovery Center. Troy and Peter describe how the new, family-friendly Discovery Center will take visitors even further into the wondrous land, water and wildlife of Southwest Florida. Includes renderings of new exhibits, galleries featuring five of the most magical ecosystems and a glimpse into protecting Southwest Florida’s environmental future.
