Beach Ambassadors Needed for Sea Turtle Protection
admin
February 15, 2017
The Friends of South Walton Sea Turtles’ volunteer beach ambassadors will hit the beach again starting March 6, 2017.
Having enjoyed a successful test run of their new volunteer beach ambassador program in October 2016, they will be back at it this year between March 6 and October 31 at various regional beach accesses, around town and, of course, on the beach.
“We’re looking for anyone who wants to be a part of a positive force welcoming those visiting our beaches, has a willingness to answer questions and a desire to help educate people to leave the beach better than the way they found it,” said Laurie Reichenbach, committee chairperson of the program.
If you are interested in being a volunteer beach ambassador there is a mandatory training for the 2017 season that you will need to attend in order to receive your shirt. This training is being offered on March 1 from 6:30 – 9 p.m. and March 4 from 9:30 a.m. – 12 p.m. at the Walton County TDC Visitor Center.
