With the St. Croix Sea Turtle Project
Join Dr. Kelly Stewart and her team who have been running various genetic studies with Leatherbacks, Greens and Hawksbill hatchlings at Sandy Point National Reserve for the past 2 decades. Alongside the STX Sea Turtle Project staff, you will learn all about these projects and even get to participate in some hands on nesting research! A typical day is waking up with the sun hunting down new nesting turtle crawls from the night. We will also return back for susnet where the baby nesting turtles begin to emerge! This retreat donates part of the proceeds to support these amazing efforts.
Dr. Larry Wood is one of our hosts for this retreat as well as the Director and founder of the Florida Hawksbill Project. He is the exuberant turtle enthusiast that has been studying Hawksbill behavior in South Florida and throughout the Caribbean for almost 30 years now! He will be our all around wildlife guide in and out of the water, as well as answer any questions regarding these various projects.
Dr. Larry Wood also the director of the National Save the Sea Turtle Foundation and his teammate Ana Bennet raise and distribute funds to help asisst Sea Turtle Conservation efforts througout the oceans. Anna is also a master diver, capitain and permitted in water researcher for the NSTSTF.
At the Feather Leaf Inn
This historic estate is part of a 260-year-old plantation that is being transformed into a seaside botanical food-forest. It maintains a Danish architectural appeal while providing modern conveniences. The rooms are 100% solar powered and adjacent to a secluded bay for snorkeling and swimming. Each room has a private entrance and it's own private bathroom. While every room is different, each has iconic views overlooking the Caribbean.
Each day we will be nourished with a home made plant based breakfast, lunch and dinner in our lovely accomodations. The onsite chef loves to blend the locally grown native ingredients into fine dishes packed full of flavor. She will cater to any dietary needs you may have.
