REFUGE/DDWS Tony and Lisa Kirby

The J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge on Sanibel welcomed back Resident Volunteers Lisa and Tony Kirby, who arrived here from the Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming on Nov. 11.

Tony Kirby, who has retired from the Federal Aviation Administration, helps out the maintenance staff. Lisa Kirby formerly worked as a site coordinator for a K-4 school and assists in Visitor Services.

The couple have been full-time resident volunteers for almost seven years. This is their second year.

“The amazing staff and dedicated fellow volunteers are why we are happy to return,” Lisa Kirby.
