Sen. Ossoff Statement on Okefenokee Swamp Land Deal
“This step toward protecting the Okefenokee Swamp is great news for all Georgians and our beloved natural treasure. “For years, I’ve been sounding the alarm that strip mining near the Okefenokee Swamp poses irreversible damage to an irreplaceable natural resource. “I will continue to champion efforts to protect Georgia’s beloved natural resources and beloved outdoor spaces.”

The prairies within the Okefenokee Swamp are truly liminial spaces within a liminal space. Mysterious & magical areas few get to see - unless they brave a deep trip into the swamp itself. No two trips are the same.

The Okefenokee Swamp, "Land of the Trembling Earth", is home to myriad peat islands/hammocks that move & sway when walked upon. This is a landscape of rebirth & renewal, and now is a time of greening and blossom! #FolkloreThursday #Okefenokee #Spring #WitchSky
