Support Learning Through Loggerheads

Learning Through Loggerheads is a non-profit organization dedicated to the protection of the threatened loggerhead sea turtle. The group focuses specifically on the turtles and nests on the beaches of Edisto Island. Much of LTL’s work is done on beaches at Edisto.

Meg Hoyle and Susan Ford, the spearheads behind Learning Through Loggerheads, offer educational programs for visitors. You have probably seen the slogan “Lights Out for Loggerheads” around Edisto. LTL shares an in-depth understanding of the Loggerhead and how we stay out of their way in the reproduction process.

In that spirit, Learning Through Loggerheads offers an education opportunity that local middle and high school students would otherwise not have. Students serve as interns during the summer months where they actively participate in all aspects of the loggerheads’ protection. This educational program provides students from all walks of life with an opportunity that instills a lifetime love of learning and appreciation for the environment and conservation and ensures that future generations will continue to protect the sea turtles. For some students, this carries over into college and beyond.

LTL does so much to preserve the environment we all enjoy and much more. That’s why we are offering everyone the opportunity to give a few bucks to an organization that helps continue our way of life.
