Description

The J.N. “Ding” Darling National Flora and fauna Refuge used to be created as the Sanibel National Flora and fauna Refuge on December 1, 1945, all the way through the administration of Pres. Harry S. Truman. The refuge used to be renamed in 1967 to honor J.N. “Ding” Darling, a syndicated editorial cartoonist. He wintered on Captiva Island and advocated the establishment of the refuge. Located on a barrier island in Southwest Florida, the refuge is a jewel a few of the 553 units of the National Flora and fauna Refuge System. Sanibel, once cherished by the conquistadors, is renowned as probably the most best possible places on the earth to assemble seashells and watch birds. Now an island-city, incorporated in 1974, Sanibel is famous for its land development code, which helps make town a special place. “Ding” Darling would not completely approve of what has happened to the island he once loved, but he would applaud the human effort that has saved the island’s wetlands and nurtured his Flora and fauna refuge.
