Hawksbill Turtle Watch
Turtle tracks on beach - Volunteer with HWF researchers as they monitor Maui beaches for female hawksbill sea turtles returning to their birthplace to nest. We work in the dark, since hawksbill turtles nest at night. We patrol the beach hourly on foot to search for turtle tracks or for mother turtles hauling out onto the beach to nest. When a turtle is spotted, we watch from a distance with a night vision scope to ensure that the animal is not disturbed. We note nest locations so that our team of turtle nest watchers can return to “turtle sit” the nests two months later when the hatchlings are due to emerge. After each turtle successfully nests, HWF staff and volunteers measure her shell and make sure she appears healthy. We note a tagged flipper, if any, which can lead to comparison growth information. If the animal is not tagged, HWF does so for future identification. Sometimes HWF attaches small tracking devices to the turtle’s shell in order to study habitat usages and behavioral patterns.

Hawksbill Turtle Nest Watch
HWF leads constant vigils of each hawksbill nest right HWF Hawksbill Turtle Nest Watch - photo by Allan Ligonbefore and during the hatching period. Hatchlings often need a little assistance getting to the ocean as they can get trapped in sandy footprints or debris, become disoriented by coastal lighting or get entangled in vegetation. HWF camps by each turtle nest to wait for the hatchlings to emerge. Our presence keeps cats, dogs, birds, mongooses, and crabs from preying upon these hatchlings. When the tiny turtles crawl up out of the sand, nest watchers clear the way to make sure the hatchlings make it to the ocean safely. Turtle nest watches occur in the summer and fall. Choose either sunset-to-sunrise or daytime shifts. For both our turtle watch and nest watches, volunteers typically bring a beach chair, cell phone, small flashlight (which we will make “turtle friendly”), snacks and water. They wear dark-colored, warm clothes. A positive attitude, patience, good jokes and stories to share are important!

During the month of May Victory Garden Initiative builds over 500 garden beds for Milwaukee community members. Some of these new garden bed owners do not have any gardening skills. We are looking for Garden Mentors who we can pair with new gardeners to help them have a successful first growing season in their raised bed gardens. Anyone is welcome to join the program! You don't have to be a Master Gardener - just have some gardening skills.

We ask that our Garden Mentors attend a training session in April and meet with their "mentee" 5 times throughout the growing season (once per month from May - September).

More information can be found at: VictoryGardenInitiative.org/GardenMentor
