Wildlife Overlook Fencing Damaged
BHA understands that some people are not pleased with the recently installed fencing at the Wildlife Overlook observation deck on Stede Bonnet Wynd. While not ideal, this action is necessary at this time to lessen the risk of a dangerous human/wildlife interaction at that location.
BHA recently received a report of damage to the newly installed fence surrounding the Wildlife Overlook observation deck. The damage will be repaired as soon as possible.
If you see anyone damaging the fence at the Wildlife Overlook, if you see anyone feeding or harassing an alligator/wildlife and if you see anyone fishing in a lagoon/pond anywhere on BHI, please call 911 to report it (tell the 911 operator that you are on Bald Head Island). All of these actions create a potentially hazardous situation for everyone on BHI and are unlawful. Spread the word! If everyone helps to prevent these situations, we lessen the chance of teaching aggressive behavior to alligators and wildlife - which impacts everyone on BHI, including the alligators and wildlife.

The BHA Social, Entertainment and Recreation Committee, in conjunction with the Old Baldy Foundation, is looking for volunteers to assist in cataloguing documents relative to the history and development of Bald Head Island. Neither minimum time requirements nor recurring involvement is required.
This may be a perfect activity for residents interested in the history of the development of our island; for something to do on a rainy day; or for teens and young adults looking for community service hours on their resumes, etc. The only requirement is that volunteers have a smart phone on which they can download a scanning application from the iTunes or Google Play stores.
Anyone interest in volunteering a few hours should contact Elizabeth Kinney at

Village Council Increases Fines for Those Cited for Underage Driving
At its June meeting, the Village Council increased the fine for underage driving of golf carts from $50 to $250. The increase was based on a recommendation received last month from the Transportation Committee. Note, as part of the text amendment, unlicensed or underage driving of ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) vehicles was repealed from the local ordinance and is subject to state law and issuance of a state citation. These changes by Council are effective immediately. CLICK HERE to see the resolution.
