About Us Friends of Ulumay is an organization of people who are passionate about preserving and enhancing the natural resources of the Ulumay Wildlife Sanctuary.  Some members participate in outdoor recreational activities such as kayaking, hiking and mountain biking at Ulumay.  Many members support restoring the Ulumay Wildlife Sanctuary to a more natural state, including the removal of Brazilian pepper trees (Schinus terebinthifolius) - an invasive non-indigenous plant. Work is underway to organize Friends of Ulumay as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.  This structure provides tax-exempt status. Monthly meetings have been held at Kiwanis Island Park since November 2007.  Friends of Ulumay has attracted a core membership group who support the formal organization.  The following individuals have agreed to serve as interim officers and were elected by the membership: President  Richard Stevens  Vice President  Jack Lembeck  Secretary  Kathy Sheetz Treasurer  David Biega Speaker Coordinator Barb Venuto Webmaster Vince Lamb Other recent activities at the Ulumay Wildlife Sanctuary that were coordinated by Friends of Ulumay include a kayak trip with Space Coast Kayaking, a hike with the Florida Trail Association and a cleanup performed by the 4H Club.  Future activities are being planned based upon the interests of our members.
