Check out Wild Cumberland’s own, Jessica on the Day Fire podcast!

Listen in as Clint and Dawson talk with Jessica Howell-Edwards, the Program Director for Wild Cumberland. They are dedicated to protecting the wilderness, native species, and the ecology of Cumberland Island. The complex history of Cumberland Island requires public oversight and stewardship; their purpose is to help educate the public and hold decision-makers accountable. Wild Cumberland supporters work together to ensure the long-term stewardship and preservation of Cumberland Island and its natural ecosystem.

Jessica is a lifelong Georgia resident and mom of four who currently resides in DeKalb County. She offers more than two decades of journalism, marketing, and activism experience – and most importantly, a passion for protecting the native ecology of Cumberland Island.

Jessica writes: “Wilderness experience can transform you, and I firmly believe that those who seek that experience will find it. More than 25 years ago, I was fortunate to have my first wilderness experience on Cumberland Island; because of that, I am committed to ensuring my children and future grandchildren have the same opportunity. I have always been completely captivated by (and drawn to) the Georgia coast: an underappreciated tapestry of rivers, streams, swamps, estuaries, and islands. In that constant state of flux, teeming with life, is where I feel most at peace.”

About the Day Fire Podcast:

Day Fire Podcast was designed from the lifetime of common ground we enjoy before and after our fun and adventures in the great outdoors. Those morning fires with coffee discussing the up coming day or the late afternoons pumped from the day and rushing to get to the fire, beer in hand to tell todays adventures or share advice with the gang. A time to share, listen and learn. We are just lighting the fire so grab a drink and a chair and help us pass our stories and experiences forward.
