| Daylight Saving Time Checklist |
| Just a friendly reminder that as we “fall back” for the time change, it’s also the perfect time to check your smoke detectors and replace the batteries if needed. Working smoke alarms save lives by providing an early warning in case of fire. Take a few minutes to test your alarms and make sure your family is protected. A quick check today can make all the difference tomorrow!  |
| Turtle Talk Tuesday |
 For our final Turtle Talk Tuesday of the year, we caught up with our incredible partners at Amelia Island Sea Turtle Watch (AISTW) for a look back at the 2025 nesting season. While nest numbers were lower than average, the year was still full of exciting moments, including a rare leatherback nest and more than 11,000 hatchlings making their way safely to the sea! Read on for a season snapshot, island-wide totals, and a special thank-you to the volunteers and partners who help protect these amazing creatures every year |
