Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge | Untold Stories

His pencil and sketchpad earned him two Pulitzer Prizes. Theodore Roosevelt was his idol, mentor and friend. He was a pioneer in the American conservation movement, and helped establish a strong and successful tradition of preservation on Sanibel Island. And each time a flock of seabirds takes flight above the wildlife refuge that bears his name, the legacy of Jay Norwood "Ding" Darling is sketched in bold strokes across the southern sky.

The sunshine state has a rich and colorful history. For hundreds of years the state has attracted dreamers, opportunists, inventors and fortune-seekers. WGCU's Untold Stories aims to preserve the history of Southwest Florida communities.
