Erica Stephens is spending her summer vacation as a student volunteer at the Homosassa Springs State Wildlife Park in Homosassa, Florida. She is one of 30 volunteers in the Wildlife Care Department and works 5 days per week. Her most exciting experience has been getting into the water with the manatees and feeding
them their morning vitamins. Erica is the daughter of Debbie Stephens of Nichols and the granddaughter of Bob and Marcia Neilson, Homosassa, Florida (formerly of Owego).
