The “Ding” Darling Wildlife Society-Friends of the Refuge (DDWS) reported that work recently started on a project to refurbish the two rest-stop gazebos along the Sanibel-Captiva Road Shared Use Path, which runs past the J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge. The DDWS is funding the repair of the roofs in partnership with the Sanibel Bike Club and city of Sanibel, which will restore the interior with new paint and repairs.
