Volunteers help to clean up refuge
The J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge reported that a group of volunteers helped remove monofilament line and other fishing gear from the mangroves and shorelines on a recent Friday morning. It encouraged the public to recreate responsibly to keep the refuge a safe home for wildlife. Monofilament volunteers must be age 14 or older and have kayaking skills; the refuge provides kayaks and cleanup equipment.
