I am a female USFWS

I am a female USFWS volunteer on SVNWR. Most importantly, there is no camping permitted on the island unless you are a registered hunter during one of our three organized hunts (women do participate in these!). Also, to my knowledge, neither the Chamber of Commerce, nor anyone else, provides free boat access to the island, EXCEPT during the two Spring and Fall Open House days that you mention. Monthly tours are offered by the local Supporters group for a small fee. Advance reservations are required (850) 653-3904. Bird, butterfly, wildlife and wildflower watching and photography are TOPS here, once you do get across. A mountain bike or kayak for getting around is great, too. Interesting exhibits are on display at the refuge office in Apalachicola, FL. Blow their minds, and tell them that red wolf #982 (our island alpha female) sent you. Go to: http://st.vincentvolunteers.googlepages.com for more info; or, we have a flicker photo site on the web at: http://flickr.com/photos/stvincentvolunteers/sets/ Come and visit this unique freshwater barrier island in Florida, that is primarily overseen by female staff and volunteers!
