On April 26, the J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge and “Ding” Darling Wildlife Society-Friends of the Refuge (DDWS) hosted the Conservation Carnival at Lakes Park in Fort Myers to celebrate the 36th annual “Ding” Darling Day and strengthen their community connection. The fourth annual event also honored Earth Day. The highlights included a Roving Ranger mobile information center, Hoverball archery, celebrity dunk tank, wall climbing, birding, face painting, and a snow cone truck. The refuge and DDWS thanked the following supporters: Lee County Parks & Recreation and Florida Arts & Culture as reddish egret sponsors; and ZenBusiness as a snowy egret sponsor.
