Cumberland Island National SeashoreOld growth
“the NPS would acquire approximately 10 acres of unimproved maritime forest”
The agency wrote that in its own document, under EXCHANGE 1, Parcel Overview. Nobody has been out to check it.
Walk Old River Trail on the marsh side and photograph the woods between the trail and the salt marsh: tree sizes, canopy, and any houses, driveways, clearings or debris in them. Photos showing either untouched forest to the marsh edge, or buildings, cleared ground or roads inside that same strip of woods.
Cumberland Island National SeashoreCultural resources
The agency has published no document here with a sentence a photograph could settle, only a notice. The line below is read from that notice.
On Cumberland Island, walk the old roads and photograph the human traces still standing: house foundations, chimneys, fence lines, graveyards and headstones, planted yard trees. Date every shot; your location goes into the sealed record, never the public page.
The window shut October 16. Evidence still counts: it backs the objections from people who did comment, goes to the lawyers, and outlives the decision.
