Tabitha Hootman, Project Lead for Turtle Survival Alliance’s Team Terrapin, joined us to discuss Drink Beer, Save Turtles, a community fundraiser supporting Diamondback terrapin conservation and research in Northeast Florida. Team Terrapin is a volunteer-driven conservation program that monitors terrapin populations, conducts research, protects coastal habitat, and educates the community about this unique species. The event will take place Saturday, September 19, from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. at Bold City Brewery and will feature live music, conservation partners, a silent auction, raffles, and opportunities to learn more about local wildlife.
