A mixed lot at the Refuge this week but all a treat to the senses. This evening the Staff had a Southern Shrimp Boil for the Volunteers who donate time and labor to support this Refuge system in Alabama from Cahaba River Lily area to Key Cave to Wheeler. After a brief meeting of where the Service is going with no additional Rangers and a very limited budget looming in the future, the 40 plus Refuge Volunteers enjoy a meal with each others and family as well as members of the Ranger staff. A good day to watch the beauty of the natural world and time with fellow friends.
