Through the ClubGRANTS scheme, Twin Towns became a major sponsor of the Green Heroes Turtle Incubation Pilot Trial, a project designed to protect the endangered population of turtles nesting on Tweed beaches.
The program began when fresh loggerhead turtle nests were first reported on Fingal Head Beach.
A state-of-the-art prototype for the incubation of marine turtle eggs was designed and implemented, thanks to the funding from Twin Towns.
Green Heroes thanked Twin Towns for becoming a founding supporter and for their faith in the project from conception.
Twin Towns Community Foundation answered a second request from Green Heroes when they needed over $5,245 to purchase underwater cameras for their Jungarra Ngarrian (Cook Island) Conservation Project.
The Conservation Project was led by local Aboriginal youth who wish to care for (sea) country, in particular, Jungarra Ngarrian, which is a place of historical and cultural significance to the local community.
