Jeff Popp
Terrapin Institute
Admission: Free — donations welcome
The Terrapin Institute
conservation efforts are simple, productive, and measurable:
(1) Protect the adult population of terrapins by removing man-made hazards,
discouraging commercial harvests, and purchasing market terrapins, mark
and release them for later study;
(2) Increase terrapin reproduction by protecting eggs and hatchlings,
head-start hatchlings in cooperation with citizens and students, mark and release all salvaged
hatchlings for later study.
(3) Protect terrapin tidewater habitat by providing free advice to property
owners and discouraging shoreline hardening.

Janie Suss — Book signing
Author's website
Admission: Free — donations welcome
Oscar and Olive Osprey
tells the heartwarming story of two ospreys that come to live
at the end of Janie Suss's pier on a platform built just for them. Janie watches as
the two ospreys build their nest, raise three babies, and defend themselves against
predators. In addition to the exciting story, readers learn about ospreys' habitats,
migration patterns, and other fun and interesting facts. As the young birds learn to
hide, fly, and catch fish-all at a different pace and with different levels of
success-children can relate to their own learning experiences. Filled with amazing
color photographs, Oscar and Olive Osprey will delight children and parents alike,
and inspire an emotional connection between their own lives and the lives of these
beautiful creatures.
