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 |

| Vice President |

| Secretary |
Kathy Sheetz |
| Treasurer |

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.
