Bald Head's 'Turtle Trot' is Saturday

A 2.5-mile "trot" along Bald Head Island's sands Saturday will generate proceeds for ongoing sea-turtle protections efforts there.

The Bald Head Island Conservancy's annual Turtle Trot, which participants can walk or run, will kick off from Beach Access 35 on South Bald Head Wynd at 11 a.m. Registration will begin an hour prior at $15 per person.

The event will boost the conservancy's Sea Turtle Protection Progam, which studies the mother sea turtles that crawl ashore each year to nest. Last year's nesting season marked the first time the conservancy was able to document loggerhead, green and leatherback nests together.

For more information on the Turtle Trot or the sea turtle program, call the conservancy at 457-0089 or visit http://bhic.org.
