Rescue. Rewild. Repeat. Think of us as the Uber for endangered species.
About us
Turtles Fly Too’s (TF2) mission involves coordinating and facilitating the general aviation industry in large scale “first responder” relocation efforts. We coordinate with general aviation pilots to donate their expertise, aircraft, fuel, and labor while leaving a lasting mark on endangered species rescue efforts. Turtles Fly Too partners with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to educate students and other non-profit organizations about the importance of general aviation to our society, and specifically, endangered sea turtle rescue operations. Through Turtles Fly Too’s educational programs, participants have the opportunity to thoroughly examine several magnificently preserved specimens generously gifted by NOAA. This enables Turtles Fly Too to educate participants on sea turtle migration patterns, the factors that put them at risk for stranding, and ultimately how we can work together to conserve their species. NOAA and other organizations call on Turtles Fly Too to provide air transportation when endangered species are threatened, either through a cold stun event, entanglement, or when an endangered animal is injured. These transports are made possible by the donation of time, equipment, and fuel from our “Turtle Fliers,” the dedicated, generous pilots associated with Turtles Fly Too. Using flights instead of ground transport shortens travel time and therefore reduces stress on these turtles and other endangered species. Also, the shorter travel time presents the opportunity to relocate some animals that otherwise could not be able to be moved due to the long travel times involved. These dynamics ultimately result in higher opportunities for recovery because we can transport patients directly to the best facilities and locations based on their needs. For additional information email: info@TurtlesFlyToo.org or call 208-484-7774.

At Turtles Fly Too we partner with a lot of amazing organizations and people; all of whom help make our continued mission of saving sea turtles a success. Today we'd like to highlight Liz Stroh, one of our long-time volunteers and friend of TF2. Over the years Liz has helped as ground support on several of our transports. She's also been a huge advocate for us by raising awareness and talking about TF2 and sea turtle conservation with those around her. Recently, Liz was invited by Theresa Madrigal, the Stranding Coordinator at the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies (IMMS), to sit in on progress exams for some of their turtle patients. Watching and learning alongside Dr. Deb Moore at IMMS, she was able to be part of a process most people don't get to see. She also just attended a sea turtle release in Biloxi, Mississippi where mayor Andrew "FoFo" Gilich showed up for the event! #volunteering #volunteer #nonprofit #nonprofitorganization #donationsmakeadifference #donate #donationsneeded #donations #seaturtle #seaturtleconservation #aviation #oceanconservation

This is the most heartfelt and deeply personal mission so far. 💖🌟 #sos #uberforendangeredspecies #hero #givingback
Yesterday at Sheltair PIE, we had the honor of supporting an extraordinary mission with TURTLES FLY TOO helping cold-stunned sea turtles find their way to long-term care at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium 🐢💙 This mission was especially meaningful, as it was dedicated to the memory of Bonnie Freeman and the incredible legacy of her family, founders of STOP CHILDRENS CANCER INC. Bonnie’s wish to help others has inspired over four decades of life-changing work, raising more than $23 million for pediatric cancer research. We’re proud to be part of this journey, uniting aviation and compassion to make a difference—for turtles, and for the legacy of a remarkable young girl. 🌟✈️ Avfuel #AviationForGood #ColdStunRescue #StopChildrensCancer #FuelBuildServe
