Cumberland Island Conservancy Inc

The Cumberland Island Conservancy supports educational and scientific research on Cumberland Island, Georgia, and provides monetary and physical support for the island's preservation. It presents itself as a co-steward working with the National Park Service rather than an advocacy group, noting the island was already protected by the 1972 legislation creating the National Seashore. Its work includes negotiating access across private land for an alternative hiking trail through the middle of the island, funding visitor education, and supporting research on shorebirds, sea turtles, and oystercatchers.
