Certification: Congratulations to Jane Cooper for earning her SCDNR certification! A 3 year volunteer, Jane did not get much practice in 2018 due to low nesting numbers but welcomed the experience of this busy turtle season! Jane and her husband, Jim, moved to SC in 2008 via MA and PA. She is a nurse practitioner and volunteers at Smith Medical Clinic. Jane became interested in turtles through Jim who is a volunteer at Cape Romain (currently 1600+ nests). Here, Jane is excited about all our nesting and happy walking the Middle on Sundays. We are proud of you!
