Donation to Burton 4-H Center Sea Turtle Release

Burton 4-H Center on Tybee Island is announcing the release of our loggerhead sea turtle, Squirty. The release is scheduled for Thursday August 7, 2008 from 1:30pm-3:00pm at the Tybee Island Pier.

We have been raising Squirty since he was one week old and weighed only 20 grams. He came to us as a straggler hatchling so he could be an ambassador to children. Since then, 12,000 students have seen him and learned more about endangered sea turtles. Squirty is now almost two years old and weighs in at an impressive 19 lbs! While we are sad to see him go, we are so happy that he's able to be returned to the wild!

We are accepting donations to help fund the release and all donations can be made at by clicking on the 'Pay Now' graphic below.. Donations of ANY size are accepted and appreciated!
