In 2019 the LHCOS community raised the funds to purchase a boardwalk ad in Wildwood New Jersey to educate the public about hermit crabs BEFORE they buy one. Then the covid pandemic shut everything down and we had to place our ad on hold. We are so excited to announce that the ad is now up and will run all of the 2021 tourist season (April-November) on the boardwalk! If you visit Wildwood New Jersey be sure to take a selfie with our ad and tag us in the pic! So proud of what our organization is doing!!Read More →
