We hope you had a wonderful holiday and start to 2026! We are hitting the ground running already in 2026 with community events and we need you!


We were graciously invited again this year by Friends of Eden Gardens to the Camellia Festival and would love to be able to engage & educate the community in what FOSWST is all about! We hope to see you there!

EVENT INFO

Eden Gardens State Park has over 370 camellias that bloom, and in February the park invites visitors to stroll through the Camellia garden and grounds. There will be Camellias for sale as a fundraiser for the park, as well as vendors & organizations like FOSWST being invited to educate the community!



Schedule

  • Set up – 9am
  • Event 10am-2pm
  • Tear down 2pm-2:30pm


Stay tuned for future FOSWST events including 2026 VBA Registration dates, Community Education events and more! Check out our calendar to see what's ahead!

 
 

REMINDERS for Current VBA's

VBAs are no longer allowed to use their Blue whistles on the beach.

As we start the 2026 season with lots of education, community events, and beach walking being scheduled, it's so important to our organization for all volunteers to please keep track of all of your VBA hours!


THE 2026 TURTLE SEASON IS NOT HERE YET, BUT WE MUST CONTINUE TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO KEEP OUR BEACHES #CleanDarkFlat
