Celebrating 142 nests at Hunting Island State Park! A salute to FOHI turtle team! Picture below depicts cross section to educate public on what a loggerhead nest looks like!
Attached are some images of plastic and the effects on sea turtles from our exhibits at the Visitor Center! It provides a profound impact on our guests of all ages! Thanks to FOHI and Aki Kato!
Started to grow another garden this year! Love to be able to bring in vegetables from garden to plate! It is very rewarding and cuts down on plastic from buying at the store!
Love using dryer balls instead of dryer sheets! I was gifted the dryer balls as a Christmas present! They help use less time to dry clothes thus using less electricity! Would recommend as a great stocking idea!
