Bald Head Island Conservancy

Volunteer Opportunity: Help Protect Bald Head Island’s Sea Turtles!

Join us in safeguarding Bald Head Island’s sea turtles! We’re looking for volunteers to assist with maintaining our sea turtle nest protection cages - a crucial part of our conservation efforts that helps protect hatchlings.

This is a hands-on opportunity, but please note that there will be no direct work with sea turtles. No experience is needed - just a passion for wildlife and a willingness to help!

Meeting Location:
Bald Head Island Conservancy (700 Federal Road, BHI)

Getting to BHIC:
Volunteers will need to take the Bald Head Island Ferry from Deep Point Marina in Southport, NC, to the island. Once on the island, the tram service is the best way to travel between the ferry terminal and BHIC. Ferry and tram reservations are required in advance. Ferry and tram reservations can be made here: https://www.baldheadislandferry.com/bald-head-island-ferry/

Recommended Ferry & Tram Schedule:
To the island: Take the 9:00 AM ferry, then board the tram to BHIC upon arrival.
Leaving the island: Take the 2:15 PM ferry, with tram service from BHIC back to the ferry terminal.

We appreciate your support in protecting Bald Head Island’s sea turtles and look forward to working with you soon!
