From sea turtles and otters in the waters, to plovers and roseate spoonbills in the skies, to gopher tortoises and Eastern indigo snakes on the land, all species are important to our delicate ecosystem. So dedicated to maintaining that balance in 1967, the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation (SCCF) was created “to preserve natural resources and wildlife habitat on and around the islands of Sanibel and Captiva.” Through land protection, resource man- agement and environmental education strategies, the foundation is helping people who reside and visit here to live cooperatively with all kinds of critters. Last week, SCCF hosted one of its monthly programs – Bobcat Tales – conducted by Environmental Educator Dee Serage-Century at the Nature Center headquarters. Her 60-minute presentation included information about the reclusive cats’ physical character- istics, behavior, diet, range and habitat, along with several stories about encounters with bobcats on the islands. “They’re very secretive creatures… they sort of live out of the way,” Serage-Century A boat excursion with Sanibel Sea School told the audience. “And they don’t just live hidden in the wild; they’re living in and around our neighborhoods. But you’re pretty safe with bobcats, as long as you walk Winter Camp Students Explore your dog on a leash.” Bobcats (Lynx rufus) are one of 38 cat species worldwide, seven of which call North The Deep At Sanibel Sea School America home.

Step aboard a wooden replica of the old mailboat, Santiva, to capture the spirit of the island. The History Gallery is accessed through the Captiva Memorial Library, located on Chapin Lane and open during library hours. This week’s image is The Manor House, built for Clarence B. Chadwick and family (circa 1920s). It was located on the beach. Clarence Chadwick purchased property on Captiva soon after he and his wife first visited the island in 1923. He established a key lime plantation, which became a large producer of the fruit. His property was later bought by two men from Connecticut, who turned it into a small fishing camp and called it South Seas Plantation.
