A Journey to Preservation

The Wilderness of Cumberland Island

“The idea of wilderness needs no defense, it only needs more defenders. Remaining silent about the destruction of nature is an endorsement of that destruction.”

@wild_cumberland always needs volunteers: for research, writing, administrative support, fundraising, event planning, and more!Much of our work happens behind the scenes, so you won’t find any shortcuts to island access here - we jump through the same hoops and pay the same rates you do to access the island.What you *will* find is a group of thoughtful humans who generously contribute their time and skills to help us achieve our mission.Our work isn’t underwritten by big foundations or corporations - it’s powered by donations from people who care about a place and appreciate the work we are doing to help protect it.Join us - email info@wildcumberland.org and donate via our website!

Georgia’s leaders and citizens have, throughout

Georgia’s leaders and citizens have, throughout our history, consistently expressed a desire to protect our natural resources from exploitation and ensure that future generations have a healthy Georgia. (If nothing else, our $69.4 billion agricultural industry depends on it. Ahem.)@wild_cumberland shares the sentiment of hundreds of thousands of individuals, researchers, experts, organizations, and agencies who oppose the Twin Pines operation.We also want to use this opportunity to reiterate the importance of respecting the interconnectedness of our ecosystems (which miraculously allow us to exist) and our moral and ethical obligation to evaluate cumulative impacts (whether legally-mandated or not).PLEASE take the time to voice your opposition before the comment window closes, if you haven’t already: twinpines.comment@dnr.ga.gov

By now, you’ve probably heard that three individuals have sued the NPS related to its refusal to accept cash at certain locations.Cumberland Island National Seashore stopped accepting cash for payments back in 2022, and its authorized concessioner subsequently implemented the same policy.We’ve taken a firm position on this from the beginning - read more at wildcumberland.org, and let us know what you think.
