The Georgia Board of Natural Resources has voted to acquire 4,420 acres of undeveloped coastal habitat in southeastern Georgia from The Conservation Fund and the Open Space Institute.
The diverse landscape of salt marshes, tidal creeks and longleaf pine forests set to be purchased by the state DNR is home to threatened and endangered species including the gopher tortoise and indigo snake.
The state is paying $6.45 million for two sites, and the Georgia Department of Natural Resources is getting contributions from several sources, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Chicago-based Bobolink Foundation and the new Georgia Outdoor Stewardship Fund.
