This program is hosted by Fripp Island Golf & Beach Resort's Head Naturalist and fellow Lowcountry Master Naturalist Colleen Goff. Colleen has been working with alligators in South Carolina and Georgia for 7 years, has caught too many alligators to count, and specializes in human-alligator interactions in urban coastal communities. She will take participants around Fripp Island to learn about general alligator ecology and behavior as well as observe alligators in different life stages.
There is a fee of $15/person to be paid upon arrival at the Fripp Island Nature Center.
