Blackwater Paddle – Savannah, Georgia
After basic canoeing instruction, your WiSE naturalist will lead the way downstream past tall tupelo and cypress. Their spring green foliage and dark trunks reflect perfectly in the mirror-dark water. We’ll be on the lookout for turtles, herons, and noisy kingfishers diving for their next meal. Maybe we’ll be lucky enough to spot swallowtail kites soaring overhead. There’s beauty around every bend. Fee of $35/person includes canoe, paddle, and basic instruction. Group size: 6-18. Meet in Rincon, GA. Reservations required.

Release of Sea Turtle – Amelia Island, Florida
AMELIA ISLAND, Fla. (May 5, 2008)- On May 17th at 11 am, the Wild Amelia Festival in combination with the Georgia Sea Turtle Center will host a special event at Main Beach Park. Vida, a female juvenile loggerhead sea turtle, will be released and returned to the Atlantic Ocean. Â She stranded on a beach in St. John’s County near St. Augustine, Florida on December 19, 2007 and was observed to be very lethargic due to the cold weather. Â Vida was transferred to the GSTC on Jekyll Island, Georgia and has been returned to health by their excellent staff. Join us as Vida makes her exciting trip back to the wild on Fernandina Beach. Main Beach Park is located at the intersection of Atlantic Avenue and North Fletcher Avenue on Amelia Island, Florida. Following the release the staff of GA Sea Turtle Center will do a presentation at the Atlantic Recreation center about what they do at the center.
The Wild Amelia Nature Festival held from May 16 – 18, 2008 will showcase the bioregion and natural treasures of Amelia Island and the surrounding area of Northeast Florida. Information about the Festival can be found at www.WildAmelia.com.
