At a time when the rest of America is celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Wilderness Act, some members of Congress have a different, and deadly, idea: scrapping some wilderness protection on Cumberland Island National Seashore off the Georgia coast.

Cumberland Island is one of the largest undeveloped barrier islands in the world. It offers a wilderness experience within 300 miles of several metropolitan areas. But pending legislation in the House (H.R.4887) and Senate (S. 1462) threatens the very qualities that make Cumberland Island so valuable. The bills propose to remove portions of the island from the protective status of wilderness, solely to benefit private and commercial interests. That’s never been done in a unit of the National Park System and we mustn’t allow it to happen now! We need your help to stop it.

It is important to let your House and Senate members know how strongly you oppose this special interest legislation.
