Thank you Janisse for posting this and all the ways we can respond to this environmental threat and act to protect the Okefenokee and surrounding area from harm. I wrote letters before against it and will make calls and do it again today!
Letter sent! I've loved even the word Okefenokee ever since I encountered it as a kid in collections of the Pogo comic strip. While the political humor went over my head at the time, I loved all the expertly drawn characters who lived in the swamp. The thought that the place could be made an unfriendly place to the possums, alligators, turtles and others who populated that strip is very upsetting.
Thanks for sharing this. I'll fill out the forms and get it shared too. I'm over here in Texas watching our state about to lose a 50 year old state park to developers because TPWD failed to act when the landowners talked about selling several years ago. Heartbreak at every corner these days.
Thank you for making us aware of this, Janisse. Standing in solidarity (and letter writing) from your neighboring state. We must preserve wildness from the forces of greed!
Tom, I hear you. The SELC is all over that. There's a much longer story here (and you probably know it already) but at this moment there is no forcing of the feds. We have to stop this thing at the state level now. The feds just rolled over. Even with Deb H.
After listening to comments on the Zoom meeting tonight, I emailed my concerns to twinpines.comment@dnr.ga.gov. You know, the aquifer.
Who are the big Podcasters we can get talking about this and maybe doing a little investigating?

Promises promises, the Keystone won't leak, we will restore the mountain tops, no, just no, and no now. Letter sent
Letters sent - and I will watch out for what else we can do.
Thank you Janisse. Letter sent as well to Gov Kemp. I can’t understand why Interior Dept and US Fish and Wildlife aren’t in on this.
Thanks for sharing! Letters sent from North Carolina.
I'm glad to know of this.
Sent my letter. Thanks so much for the heads-up on this Janisse.
I wish you’d start a go fund me to buy the land around the swamp. Or I wish somebody would. I’d donate

Yeah, I'm stunned that the ACOE decided to claim no jurisdiction for themselves. It seems fishy as hell.
