Required FWC training held March 12
Walker volunteers are needed for the South Walton sea turtle season of 2014. The season runs from May 1 until October 31. Walkers must be trained by Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). The training class will be held at Gulf Coast State College on March 12, 2014. The training is only given once, sometime after the training you will be asked to walk with someone from the area you will be walking during the summer. No pre registration needed. South Walton Turtle Watch encourages you to take the training and sign up for an area you can walk. They walk at about 5:30 in the mornings, depending on when it becomes day light.
