Communities of Coastal Georgia Foundation and
St. Simons Land Trust present:
"Rising Sea Levels in Glynn and Camden Counties:
How People Are Coping"
PART III: Maritime Forest Restoration
Maritime Forest Restoration Plot - Phase IV
Dear Friends,

Last week, in our ongoing series on rising sea levels, Scott Brazell , CRS, E&S Coordinator for Camden County, provided a presentation on flood plain management in Camden County that shared information on community-based plans for addressing flood hazards.  

This week, The Land Trust's own Stephanie Knox, Preserve Manager at Cannon's Point Preserve , is providing the first of two presentations on important research that is being conducted at the Preserve. The first of these is a presentation on maritime forest restoration that has been conducted at Cannon’s Point since 2016. Please click this link to learn about the multi-phase research project (the first of its kind in the nation) that shows the benefits of restoring and protecting maritime forest that acts as a natural defense against storm surge and flooding . The presentation also gives examples of what individuals can do to protect their own properties in coastal Georgia.
 
Once the series is completed, we look forward to asking you for feedback and suggestions about next steps.

We hope you enjoy reading through these informative slides!
