Thank you to the volunteers and staff who made it happen.

Celebration of a successful monitoring season!

Thank you to those who acted in defense of this vulnerable species. With the continued advocacy of Vince and his fellow Brevard County Jay Watchers, we are hopeful the sanctuary’s restoration will begin this year.
