Adopt-a-Nest Private Adoption

For those who wish to make a larger contribution to the fund and exclusively adopt a nest, this private adoption package is available. Only a single individual or family name will be displayed on the nest under this level. This package will include all of the items from the Level 2 Adoption and more! Adopters will receive a framed certificate with a nest photo, GPS coordinates of the nest location, and the expected hatch date. This package will include a T-shirt, letter of adoption, magnet, plush turtle, fact sheet, decal, koozie, Adopt-a-Nest hat, a red sea turtle-friendly flashlight, coffee mug, and tote bag. Adopters will also receive email updates when the nest is laid, when it hatches, and after the final inventory of the nest.

Please email [email protected] if you encounter issues with your private adoption.
