My parents took us to the Okefenokee Swamp Park when we were little. I have pictures somewhere of the trip even if I don’t remember it. My parents referenced the trip many times because my father got us lost on the way home. We ended up in Ohio … seriously, how bad of a navigator was my father?! He could get you out of the middle of a forest, but couldn’t drive a car and get to the right destination to save his life lol
Anyway, this is sad and I’ll pass this along. Sorry, but I cannot get the page up that allows comments. It just shows up as a blank untitled page. It doesn’t even have the white background of a page, just the color of my browser. I will see if I can find a link some other way.
I finally found a link that you could send a message in. It’s a prefilled form and you just add your details to it. Take Action to Protect the Okefenokee - Georgia River Network
Another link to email the governor direct - Home - PROTECT GEORGIA
Hit them from every angle - Stop the Mining Threat to the Okefenokee Swamp
You can even get in on the comment meeting - Webinar Registration - Zoom
If you need talking points for sending the one message that you actually have to write yourself, here’s the page that discusses all the reasons to protect the area - https://protectokefenokee.org/resources/
