As the official kickoff to the 75th anniversary season for J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge on Sanibel Island, the refuge staff and “Ding” Darling Wildlife Society-Friends of the Refuge (DDWS) will host a public unveiling of an exhibit makeover and new mural dedicated to the achievements of the refuge’s namesake. Jay Norwood “Ding” Darling twice won Pulitzer prizes for the political cartoons he penned over 50 years, a great deal of them conservation-related. The updated “Ding” Studio Exhibit recreates his workplace at the Des Moines Register, which carried his cartoons on its front page daily first, before they went into syndication across the U.S. The unveiling takes place Monday, Dec. 2, at 9 a.m. in the Visitor & Education Center. A Donuts with “Ding” coffee social will follow. www.dingdarlingsociety.org
