The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has released a proposal for public comment that would expand the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge in Georgia by 22,000 acres. This proposal needs supportive public comments by Monday, December 9.
Twin Pines Minerals seeks permits to open an 8,000-acre strip mine on the Okefenokee’s eastern edge on Trail Ridge, a geological formation that holds back the waters of the Okefenokee.
