We had an amazing day exploring the island with Shelly and Brad, the refuge biologists. St. Vincents nwr is one of the only barrier islands to contain rain-fed freshwater lakes. Because of its diversity in ecosystems, we explored beautiful beaches and dune systems, pine flat woods, hardwood hammocks,fresh water swamps and wetlands, and salt marshes, all on a 13,000 square acre island. It really is a beautiful and unique place that deserves the amazing people that work so hard to preserve it.
