Adopt a Nest Program
posted: January 31, 2026, 7:16 AM
We're excited to announce our new nest adoption sponsorship program. This program supports our efforts to protect endangered sea turtles on Holden Beach. The number of nests available for adoption are limited and will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis as nests are laid on the beach. The nesting season is May 1 through August 31.
Nest adoptees will have their name displayed at the nest and will receive an electronic certificate of adoption. The HBTWP will communicate with nest adoptees throughout the turtle season sharing photos and details about the nest.
Information about the Adopt a Nest Program can be found by clicking the on the Shop/Donate/Adopt a Nest link on the homepage of this website. Adoption sponsorship is $125 per nest.
This Adopt a Nest Program is symbolic. Sorry, you do not get to take a baby turtle home!
