The Ding Darling Wildlife Society-Friends of the Refuge plans to break ground this summer on a more than $1 million project to greet visitors at the J.N. Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge on Sanibel Island. The Roost, a 4,670-square-foot pavilion, will be constructed adjacent to the entrance ramp to the Visitor and Education Center. Designed by Sanibel architect Amy Nowacki, The Roost will be made up of earth-friendly materials with solar panels to provide electricity for lighting and paddle fans and battery backup for other refuge buildings. Incorporating design elements from nature, it will serve as an outdoor classroom for visiting schools and other groups.
