One Man Can Make A Difference…

On March 14th, 1903, the dream of one man with a boat became reality. Sebastian resident, Paul Kroegel, had fought hard to protect the birds of Pelican Island from relentless "feather seekers."

Through Paul's vision and the help of many friends over one hundred years ago, President Theodore Roosevelt declared Pelican Island to be America's First National Wildlife Refuge.

Marking the birth of the National Wildlife Refuge System, Pelican Island is celebrated as a habitat of splendor for Pelicans and many other bird species, as well as becoming a living legacy.

Come discover the Centennial Trail Boardwalk which officially opened on March 16th, 2003 for the Centennial Celebration - the official celebration of the birth of the National Wildlife Refuge System.

• 14 federally listed threatened and endangered species.
• 16 different bird species nest on Pelican Island proper
• Over 30 different species of birds use the island as a rookery, roost, feeding ground, or loafing area.
• Beyond the tiny rookery of Pelican Island proper, over 130 species of birds use the refuge as a rookery, roost, feeding ground, and/or loafing area.

Located in the Indian River Lagoon on the east coast of Florida, Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge is both the name of the refuge and the name of the original 5.5 acre rookery island, which supports important bird rookeries, key fish spawning sites, and a globally important juvenile sea turtle nursery. Primarily comprised of lagoonal waters, the refuge includes aquatic, transitional, and upland habitats supporting a diversity of species, including 14 federally listed threatened and endangered species. This complex ecological system also supports hundreds of species of birds, fish, plants, and mammals. Today, at least 16 different bird species nest on Pelican Island proper, including brown pelicans, wood storks, egrets, herons, ibises, anhingas, oystercatchers, and cormorants. Beyond the tiny rookery of Pelican Island proper, over 130 species of birds use the refuge as a rookery, roost, feeding ground, and/or loafing area. Further, federally protected West Indian manatees and sea turtles inhabit the lagoonal waters of the refuge, alongside some 30,000 annual boaters.

Archie Carr National Wildlife Refuge, a 248-acre refuge spanning 20.5 miles long, was designated to protect habitat for what is the most significant area for loggerhead sea turtle nesting in the Western Hemisphere, and the most significant area for green turtle nesting in North America. The long stretches of quiet, undisturbed sandy beaches, with little or no artificial light, are essential to the reproductive success and survival of the 15,000 to 20,000 sea turtles nesting annually.

Captain Forster Hammock Preserve

The Captain Forster Hammock Preserve was opened with public access improvements on February 17, 2003. The Preserve contains trails through mature maritime hammock and coastal hammock habitats. New restrooms and parking are located one mile south of County Road 510 on Jungle Trail. Seasonal tours are offered and self-guided walks are a great way to see a remnant of "old Florida." Trails are easy walking and are open from 8am until sunset.

The 110 acre Captain Forster Hammock Preserve was purchased in the mid 1990s by Indian River County with cost-share funds from the State Conservation and Recreation Lands Program. The property was purchased to conserve natural and cultural resources on the site. The Preserve contains maritime hammock, coastal strand and wetland plant communities. It borders Jungle Trail, a State designated greenway and a byway of the Indian River Lagoon National Scenic Highway. The Preserve contains one of the largest remaining coastal maritime hammocks on Orchid Island. The site was home to Captain Frank Forster, one of the first Orchid Island residents who homesteaded on the barrier island growing winter vegetables and fishing along the Indian River Lagoon.

Benefits of the Conservation Area:

• Approximately 14 designated species listed as Threatened or Endangered by Federal and State Agencies are found on the property
• Permanent protection from encroachment and development
• Educational tool for environmental education
• Neo-tropical songbirds passage
• Habitat for animals that have been displaced by development
• One of the only remaining undisturbed maritime hammocks of significant size in Indian River County
• Located near protected Archie Carr Wildlife Refuge, specifically created for Sea Turtles

Environmental Learning Center

The Environmental Learning Center is a 64 acre sanctuary where you can discover the natural world and connect with your environment. There’s a nature nook, a discovery station with a touch tank, aquariums, a butterfly garden, canoeing, hiking and many other programs of special interest.

Take a hike and learn a little about this beautiful, diverse, and ecologically authentic place. It's diverse because it ranges from hammock (high ground) through salt marshes (sometimes underwater) to mangrove forest (with its feet in the water).

It's ecologically authentic because before the pavilions were built, they cut down all the exotic invasive trees like the Brazilian peppers and the Australian pines and replaced them with indigenous (native) species such as live oaks, cabbage or sabal palms, coontie, and wax myrtle.

Their surroundings are especially beautiful because they provide a natural habitat for birds, fish, crustaceans, and mammals of many kinds. In fact the Indian River Lagoon, the big body of water that nearly surrounds us, is home to more than 4,000 different species, 36 of which are endangered or rare. It's such a diverse estuary (the most diverse in North America) that the Environmental Protection Agency has named it an Estuary of National Significance.

Try to be quiet during your walk about so that the birds and small animals will show themselves. With luck you'll see an otter. Or down by the canoe dock, a dolphin or manatee. Look up, look down; there's a lot to see. Follow the signs posted near the paths and boardwalk. You can't get lost and you can find out a lot.

The Environmental Learning Center is located at 255 Live Oak Drive, Wabasso.

Historic Jungle Trail

The historic Jungle Trail, now listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was originally a sandy road built in the 1920s for the citrus growers on the barrier island (called Orchird Island). The trail, nearly 8 miles, passes through hammocks of palms and other coastal wetland species, as well as gated communities, spectacular homes and the shores of Indian River Lagoon. Vehicles use the trail to access Pelican Island; however, the trail is great for cyclists, walkers and joggers, too.

From the northern end point, the trail begins in Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge, the nation's first wildlife refuge established in 1903 by Teddy Roosevelt to protect birds from feather hunters. Bird feathers were widely used to decorate women's hats in the early 20th century, and Florida's barrier islands were teeming with the most vulnerable of species.

To reach the northern access point and parking: From the intersection of Wabasso Road (CR 510) and SR A1A, drive north 3.7 miles on A1A; you will see a sign on the right indicating Pelican Island Wildlife Refuge; turn left onto the road marked Historic Jungle Trail. To reach the southern access point (no parking): From the intersection of Wabasso Road (CR 510) and SR A1A, drive south 2.4 miles on A1A to Old Winter Beach Road and turn right. Drive a short distance to the bend in the road. The trail starts on the right when the road becomes gravel/sand.

North Sebastian Conservation Area

The North Sebastian Conservation Area (NSCA) contains 407 acres of many different habitats. The conservation area is located west of US Highway 1, north of Main Street (in Sebastian) and south of Roseland Road. The conservation area is bounded on the western perimeter by Sebastian Airport and the Sebastian Golf Course. The area is primarily xeric oak scrub, a globally and locally endangered habitat (FNAI). Other habitats include: Sand and Pine Scrub, Sand Pine Forest, Scrubby Flatwoods, Mesic Pine Flatwoods, Wet Flatwoods (osprey nesting area), Freshwater Marsh, Upland Hardwood Forest, Wetland Forested Mix, Shrub, Brushland, freshwater Ponds and Lakes.

The primary purpose of the Northern Sebastian Conservation Area (NSCA) is the protection and enhancement of native scrub habitat. The sand pine scrub, scrubby flatwoods and xeric oak scrub communities, comprising approximately one third of the conservation area, are classified as rare or imperiled both globally and statewide by the Florida Natural Areas Inventories and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.

The NSCA is the key mitigation tract of the Sebastian Area-Wide Florida Scrub-Jay Habitat Conservation Plan (Florida Scrub-Jay HCP). Again, as with the Sebastian Scrub Conservation Area, the first and foremost priority is the resource management component, which must be carried out and in accordance with the Florida Scrub-Jay HCP. In addition to resource management, limited facilities are planned for the property to provide public access for environmental education and passive recreation.

The NSCA public access facilities are planned for 2004 and should be open to the public by Winter 2005. Public facilities include parking off of Main Street, adjacent to the Sebastian City Hall Complex, boardwalks, fishing piers, over 5 miles of trails, restrooms, parking, horse trailer parking and educational signage throughout the Conservation Area.

The Sebastian River Area has beautiful waterways to kayak. Kayaking is a great way to get close and view wildlife without disturbing it in its natural habitat. The Indian River Lagoon offers wide open spaces and numerous spoiled islands to explore birds, dolphin, manatees, sea turtles, and much more! Pelican Island, America's 1st National Wildlife Refuge, is a very popular landmark to kayak around and view hundreds of birds. You can't go on the actual island but you can paddle around it and appreciate the history behind it. Near Sebastian Inlet, there are some beautiful back country areas and mangrove fringed shorelines to kayak. Kayak fishing is also very popular in the Sebastian River Area!

A kayaking trip through the St. Sebastian River takes you back in time as you paddle through "Old Florida" and under large canopy oaks. You'll not only discover birds, alligators, manatees, turtles but also a sense of peace. The St. Sebastian River is a three-prong system. The North Prong and South Prong share a common mouth into the Indian River lagoon with a man-made floodcontrol canal. The South Prong meanders north behind the coastal ridge that separates it from the Indian River. Sluggish stream flow and a wide channel on the lower river provide an easy day of paddling after winding through the narrower upper section.

Kayaking the Sebastian River Area is a great escape for those seeking relaxation while learning to appreciate Florida's natural wonderlands.

Sebastian Inlet State Park

The turtle walks at Sebastian Inlet State Park are a memorable experience that allow our guests to learn about, observe and hopefully see the nesting and egg-laying process of a loggerhead sea turtle. Walks are conducted on Monday, Tuesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights from 9 p.m.- 1 a.m. between June 1 and July 31 each year.  Space is limited to 20 people per night. Reservations are required. Cost is a $10.00 donation per person, paid in advance, to reserve your space. Reservations can only be made at http://friendsofsebastianinletstatepark.org/?page_id=310.  Tour take place at the Sebastian's Fishing Museum (south side of Sebastian Inlet State Park).

Archie Carr National Wildlife Refuge
Sea turtle nesting season has begun on the East Coast and one of the largest concentrations of nesting occurs on the Archie Carr National Wildlife Refuge. Stretching from south Brevard County to northern Indian River County, ACNWR is one of the most important sea turtle nesting spots in the United States – providing a unique educational opportunity for the public to observe sea turtle nesting behavior. Walks begin at 9 p.m. with a presentation while our permit-holding scouts search for nesting Loggerheads. Once the scouts locate a turtle, the group sets out to observe the turtle’s nesting behavior. In most cases, the group will reach the turtle while she is dropping eggs into her nest. Under a special permit, FOCR guides are able to expose the eggs and illuminate them with a red light for the group to observe. The walk will conclude no later than midnight after the mother turtle drops her last egg, covers her nest and returns to the sea. Walks are conducted Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights from June 3 through July 22 for $15. Walks are offered at both the Barrier Island Sanctuary in Melbourne Beach, FL and Windsor Beach Club in Vero Beach. To register for a Friends of the Carr Refuge Turtle Walk, visit www.carrrefuge.org/turtle-walks
