Part of the J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge’s Visitor & Education Center project, a screened-in component is underway beneath the administration building. Artistic habitat exhibits will welcome visitors to the Nature Nook, where visiting school groups will also gather for lunch. Refuge Manager Kevin Godsea surprised former Supervisory Refuge Ranger Toni Westland, who spearheaded the project, with a plaque designating the space as Ranger Toni’s Nature Nook at her retirement party on June 1 at the American Legion Post 123 on Sanibel.
