Hatchling Watch at Sandy Point - sign up

Back in April, we went to see a leatherback mama come ashore and lay her eggs at Sandy Point National Wildlife Refuge.  Now it's time for us to trek back out to Sandy Point and see some hatchlings come into the world. When you ask?


Saturday July 7, 2012 at 5:15 pm to 8:00 pm


Here is the info from Jennifer Travis - our coordinator.


"Arrive on your reserved date at 5:15pm at the parking lot at the Refuge with your group of 15 to 30 participants....  We cannot enter the Refuge with fewer than 15 participants. 

We will enter the Refuge as a group at 5:30pm.  The gate is locked behind us; no one may enter late nor leave early.   The program is usually over by 8pm."

If you are interested in taking part in this activity PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE reply here on the blog.

  1. Just an FYI for everyone, we have pretty much filled our slots. We have the Franse, McStay, Cawhill, and King-Sall families joining us. We are at our max of 30. If you are still interested in going, please let me know in case we have any drop outs.

    We will meet at Sandy Point in front of the Wildlife Refuge Station office. Bring water, cameras, bug spray, and if needed a jacket in case it rains. Also remember that you can bring snacks, but the park discourages it as left behind snacks can bring predators.
