From Nancy Corona at MIWA:
Long-time volunteer, Cary Salter, passed away on Sunday, January 3. Cary will be missed by many including refuge staff, volunteers, visitors, friends and family. He was integral in establishing and implementing the environmental education and interpretive programming at the refuge.
Cary and Betty were one of the first "roving" volunteers and guides for the beginning birding tours. The refuge's education and interpretive programming would not be at the level they are today without Cary's dedication to education. He helped build the refuge's visitor service program through his love of the refuge and by sharing his skills, talents, passion and enthusiasm. Betty and Cary also worked with the refuge fire staff, photographing and documenting prescribed fires. Cary volunteered 6,700 hours, many of which, he accomplished while he worked full time.
In lieu of flowers, Betty is requesting donations be made in Cary's memory to the Merritt Island Wildlife Association, earmarked for the new visitor center classroom.
