Okefinokee Nation Park preservation urged in Georgia
A long historical piece argues that Okefinokee Swamp in Georgia should be preserved as a national wildlife refuge or kept under public protection. It highlights rich biodiversity including otter, wading birds, sandhill cranes, and American wood duck, while detailing lumber and turpentine threats from companies near Waycross and Billy’s Island. The article notes a local society formed in 1910 to press reservation, seeks federal administration, and warns of conversion plans that could endanger vast areas of the swamp if not protected soon.
