HOURS:

Calf Island is open throughout the year from one-half hour before sunrise to one-half hour after sunset for:

• wildlife observation
• nature photography
• environmental education
• fishing
• hiking

OVERNIGHT CAMPING:

Portions of the island are open for overnight camping by permit for environmental education programs. Other areas are set aside as sanctuary during the bird breeding season.

FACILITIES:

The Conservancy maintains docks on the north end of the island, which are open to the public except when decommissioned during the winter. While requiring rehabilitation, facilities already on the island, particularly the main pavilion building, are ideal to support environmental education programs and other public uses.

ACTIVITIES:

The natural character of the island lends itself to programs and research in environmental and ecological studies, marine biology, ornithology, coastal geology and related disciplines. Middle and high schools, colleges, and universities and environmental organizations are encouraged to explore these opportunities and work with the Conservancy and the Stewart B. McKinney National Wildlife Refuge to develop educational opportunities and memorable experiences for all ages.
