Learning the Lesson

Written By Angela Sayre

Last week, we hosted two workshops with John Pennekamp and Windley Key State Parks, where we shared our captivating hermit crab stories with locals and visitors from around the world. The joy on their faces as we revealed the long lifespan of hermit crabs was incredibly rewarding. We're proud that our non-profit work at Crustacean Plantation is making a difference. Our mantra, "Leave the Shell, Take the Memory," resonated with everyone, emphasizing the importance of hermit crab habitat preservation.

Special thanks to park Rangers Drew and Hannah for hosting us.

If you would like us to come to your event, we’d love to share our stories.
