With over 9,000 acres of protected wilderness, Cumberland Island is Georgia’s largest barrier island—and one of its most mysterious. Its vast maritime forests, dirt roads, and sandy shores have hosted many peoples throughout history, including Native Americans, enslaved Africans, wealthy white Americans, and today, members of the public and the National Park Service.

Join our naturalist and Coastal Education Coordinator, Stephanie Chewning, for our Naturalist 101 lecture, “A Naturalist’s History of Cumberland Island.” Together, we’ll dive deeper into Cumberland’s fascinating past and present. Whether you’ve visited the island before or have yet to check it off your bucket list, you’re sure to walk away with a deeper understanding and appreciation for its treasures.

Join us at OHM's new Savannah office (1702 Bull Street, Savannah) on Thursday, March 13. Doors open at 6:30 pm with light refreshments served. The lecture begins at 7 pm, with Q&A to follow. This event is free, but we ask that you RSVP so we can plan accordingly. We will also be livestreaming this event via Facebook; please tune in and participate virtually if you can't make it in person!
