Did you know our “Save A Sea Turtle” Girl Scout program was inspired by talks Ila did in the 70s? Pictured in the photos is founder Ila Loetscher educating a Girl Scout troop! To learn more about our educational programs visit seaturtleinc.org

She is a great childhood memory. A favorite school field trip.
The Turtle lady, Ila Loetscher used to be my role model… 🙂
ILA got me started on my love of sea turtles thru Girl Scout talks and her turtle birthday parties!

The TurtleLady!!!! I went to her house when I was a lil’ one 💜LEGENDARY
❤️❤️❤️
She was a very intelligent, caring and just cool gal. I and my fellow classmates in Marine Biology class (Mr. Lehman, Mercedes High School, 1980) were fortunate to have met her, when all she had were kiddy pools on her lawn to care for sea turtles, one of them being Gerry, who is still with you today. ❤
She was my very first conservation idol as a little girl…my OG inspiration for getting into conservation biology 💕
So awesome
