Adopt-A-Nest Program

The Adopt-A-Nest program is an annual fundraiser centered around sea turtle nesting season and the sea turtle program. Sponsors are given the opportunity to symbolically “adopt a nest.” 

OUR 2025 SEASON KICKS OFF IN MARCH 2025!
PLEASE CHECK BACK TO TAKE PART IN THIS EXCITING PROGRAM!

Funds will assist in providing Lovers Key State Park with the needed supplies used to protect their nests. It will also help pay for other resource management needs within the park.

A custom sign is placed on the protective screen or stakes that are placed around the sea turtle nest until that nest hatches. Once hatched, you will be sent your
Adopt-A-Nest packet, which contains the sign that was on the nest, a certificate, and a photo of their nest on the beach.
