Site Inventory for Fort Frederica North Marsh Property Attachment 1 Natural Resources Site Inventory Fort Frederica North Marsh Property St. Simons Island, Glynn County, Georgia Conducted February 16 and February 22, 2011 Stacia Hendricks, Naturalist, Little St. Simons Island Jacob Thompson, Nongame Conservation Section Biologist, Georgia Department of Natural Resources Susan Shipman, Retired Director, Coastal Resources Division, Georgia Department of Natural Resources Flora The 10 acres of upland is characterized by pine forest with live oak, characteristic of an early successional maritime forest ecosystem. It is unknown if this was a farmed area or whether it is a fire-adapted community. There are several very large loblolly pines, one of which appears to be in excess of 100 years old. A few of the pines show evidence of turpentining. If left alone, most parts of the upland will eventually succeed to a mixed live oak-pine maritime forest. Species of flora documented on the upland highest portion of parcel during in situ inventory: Trees: Loblolly Pine - Pinus taeda Slash Pine - Pinus elliottii Saw Palmetto - Serenoa repens Water Oak - Quercus nigra Live Oak - Quercus virginiana Sweet Gum - Liquidambar styraciflua Southern Red-cedar - Juniperus virginiana var. silicicola American holly - Ilex opaca Red Bay - Persea borbonia Southern magnolia - Magnolia grandiflora Cabbage Palm – Sabal palmetto Shrubs: Dwarf Palmetto - Sabal minor Yaupon - Ilex vomitoria Wax myrtle - Morella cerifera Highbush Blueberry - Vaccinium corymbosum Farkleberry - Vaccinium arboretum Horse Sugar - Symplocos tinctoria Staghorn sumac - Rhus typhina Vines: Poison Ivy - Toxicodendron radicans Crossvine - Bignonia capreolata Muscadine Grape - Vitis rotundifolia 1 Saw Greenbriar – Smilax bona–nox Cat Greenbriar - Smilax glauca Sarsparilla Vine – Smilax pumila Graminoids: Switch cane - Arundinaria tecta Giant cane - Arundinaria gigantia Hairy Bedstraw Galium pilosum Slender leaf Wood Oats - Chasmanthium laxum Witch-grass - Dichanthelium spp. Broom-sedge - Andropogon virginicus Bushy Bluestem – Andropogon glomeratus Switch Grass - Panicum virgatum Nutrush species – Scleria spp. Saltmarsh/Brackish Marsh Plants: Sand Cordgrass - Spartina bakerii Big Cordgrass - Spartina cynosuroides Saltmeadow Cordgrass - Spartina patens Black Needlerush – Juncus roemerianus Silverling - Baccharis halimifolia False willow - Baccharis angustifolia Common Rush - Juncus effusus High-tide Bush - Iva frutescens Marsh Fimbry – Fimbristylis castanea Other Plants: Spanish Moss - Tillandsia usneoides Cinnamon Fern - Osmunda cinnamomea Resurrection Fern - Pleopeltis polypodioides Largeleaf Pennywort – Hydrocotyle umbellata Violet – Viola sp. Native Strawberry – Fragaria sp. Unidentified Asteraceae Invasive Species: Honeysuckle – Lonicera japonica Coral Ardisia - Ardisia crenata The tidally influenced marsh portion of the tract is dominated by extensive acreage of black needlerush. The high marsh is characterized by saltmeadow cordgrass, broom sedge, sliverling, and waxmyrtle. The marsh hammock on the northern edge of the parcel is vegetated with red 2 cedar, dwarf palmetto, cabbage palm, false willow, yaupon, loblolly pine, saw palmetto, waxmyrtle, switch grass, and live oak. This area is also noteworthy for its tidal water features. Fauna Birds Pine Warbler - Dendroica pinus Carolina wren - Thryothorus ludovicianus Yellow rumped warbler - Dendroica coronata Golden-crowned kinglet - Regulus satrapa Ruby-crowned kinglet - Regulus calendula Yellow-bellied sapsucker - Sphyrapicus varius Chickadee - Poecile atricapillus Tufted titmouse - Baeolophus bicolor Red-bellied woodpecker - Melanerpes carolinus Redtail hawk – Buteo jamaicensis Turkey vulture - Cathartes aura Marsh hen – Gallinula sp. Red-winged blackbird - Agelaius phoeniceus Northern Cardinal - Cardinalis cardinalis The birds noted above were observed on site visually or through calls or wells. The Colonial Coast Bird List documents sightings in an American Ornithological Union species format for birds in the coastal region of Georgia (Attachment 4), many of which are likely using the Fort Frederica North Marsh Tract as residents or seasonally during migration. Mammals Eastern Gray Squirrel or Flying squirrel - Sciurus carolinensis or Glaucomys volans White-tailed deer - Odocoileus virginianus Marsh rabbit - Sylvilagus palustris Common raccoon - Procyon lotor Nine-banded armadillo - Dasypus novemcinctus The mammals noted above were observed on site visually or by tracks or scat. Additionally, the tract’s upland forest habitat is suitable for the Seminole and brown bat, both species of concern. These species nest in Spanish moss. 3 ST.

WWW.SSLT.ORG NATURAL RESOURCES OVERVIEW FORT FREDERICA BOUNDARY STUDY SAINT SIMONS ISLAND GLYNN COUNTY, GEORGIA Prepared for: SAINT SIMONS LAND TRUST Prepared by: WETLAND AND ECOLOGICAL CONSULTANTS, LLC June 25, 2010 WEC Project No. 02-041510 Natural Resources Overview June 25, 2010 Fort Frederica National Monument Boundary Survey WEC Project No. 02-041510 BACKGROUND The Saint Simons Land Trust (SSLT) is working in conjunction with the National Park Service (NPS) at the Fort Frederica National Monument (FOFR), located on Saint Simons Island in Glynn County, Georgia. The project purpose is to potentially acquire several properties adjacent to FOFR and transfer these properties to the NPS for incorporation into the Monument. These properties include five Tracts: Katz; North Marsh (SSLT); Christ Church (Dodge Home); Stevens; and Humphlett (Figures 1,2,3,4a and 4b). The boundaries of a National Park may be expanded by enabling legislation as authorized by Congress, or through provisions of the statutory authorities of the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965 (LWCFA). In order to comply with the LWCFA, the boundary adjustment must meet one or more aspects including: • Protection of significant resources and values, or to enhance opportunities for public enjoyment related to park purposes; • Address operational and management issues, such as the need for access or to make boundaries consistent with logical features such as topography or other natural features, or roads; and • Otherwise, protect park resources that are critical to fulfilling park purposes (NPS, March 2008). Adjustment to the FOFR limits requires a boundary study in order to satisfy federal requirements; the boundary study includes a Natural and Cultural Resources Overview and Assessment. The scope for this work was developed through conversations with Mary Beth Wester, Superintendent, and Denise Spear, Cultural Resources Specialist, both with FOFR. This report addresses the Natural Resources study items identified by FOFR staff, and the Cultural Resources Assessment is included as an attachment. METHODS The methods employed for this report are as follows. Wetland and Ecological Consultants, LLC (WEC) reviewed background materials provided by the SSLT and FOFR to gain an understanding of the background information and level of study 1 Natural Resources Overview June 25, 2010 Fort Frederica National Monument Boundary Survey WEC Project No. 02-041510 required. WEC then performed several telephone interviews with Mary Beth Wester (FOFR) and SSLT to reach an agreement on basic study items and anticipated level of reporting. WEC then performed a field visit on May 17, 2010. At the onset of this field work, Mr. John T. Vermont of WEC met with Mary Beth Wester and Denise Spear at the FOFR office to review maps, boundaries, background information, and also to discuss the particular study items NPS desired to be addressed under this work. Mr. Vermont then performed the field study over the remainder of that day. Basic field tools employed included soil auger,

    National Park Service Teaching with Historic Places U.S. Department of the Interior Frederica: An 18th-Century Planned Community Frederica: An 18th-Century Planned Community (Photo by Ed Mathews) (Fort Frederica National Monument) On the serene, isolated west shore of St. Simons Island, Georgia, the ruins of a once- flourishing 18th-century settlement stand. A powder magazine overlooks Frederica River, a reminder of the fort that protected the British colonies against the Spanish during the early 18th-century struggle for control of the southern frontier of English occupation in the New World. The excavated foundations of various structures remind visitors that from 1736 until 1758, the planned community of Frederica served the military garrison quartered there and housed a population of up to 1,000. National Park Service Teaching with Historic Places U.S. Department of the Interior Frederica: An 18th-Century Planned Community Strolling along the now-abandoned streets, it is easy to imagine laughing children playing under the shade of the live oaks festooned with gray Spanish moss. The gentle coastal breezes brushing by Broad Street recall a time when the air was filled with the tantalizing aroma of freshly baked bread being taken from the public ovens. Other smells and sounds are easy to evoke: the acrid odor of smoke rising from summer fires built both inside and outside the houses to ward off menacing insects, the bang of shutters as merchants open their shops for the morning business, and the quiet rustling of women’s skirts as they perform their everyday housekeeping chores. In 1736 a group of British colonists led by Gen.

    UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE FORT FREDERICA HISTORIC SITE REPORT by Albert C. Manucy Historical Technician P&S 2 Castillo de San Marcos National Monument With Special Reports by C. R. Vinten Coordinating Superintendent Southeastern National Monuments and J. C. Harrington Superintendent Colonial National Historical Park Saint Augustine 1945 2 Plate 1 – Fort Frederica National Monument Location Map FORT FREDERICA NATIONAL MONUMENT GEORGIA 3 INTRODUCTION This study includes more specialized information than is usually found in a historic site report. We have attempted to put what we now know about Frederica—as well as things we do not know—between two covers. In so doing, our idea is to make readily available certain data that will be useful in developmental planning of the site. This is not a purely historical study. Reports by administrator, archeologist and historian are included. The text therefore contains information on several specific problems. For the reader interested only in certain sections of the study, we recommend the following suggestions: 1) read the table of contents carefully. It is almost an index. 2) For an excellent and brief over-all picture of the area, see Coordinating Superintendent Ray Vinten’s summary of the present status of Frederica. 3) Archeologists are referred particularly to Dr. J. C. Harrington’s “Recommendations for Archeological Research”, which also include stabilization suggestions. 4) The “Historical Narrative” is the story of the area. 5) “Technical Description” provides detailed physical description for the closer student. It is easy to see in Frederica more than a few tabby ruins and a naturally beautiful site.

    August 14, 2008 1980 The annual bicycle ride across the state of Georgia began in 1980 under the guidance of Dot Moss. Dot received her inspiration for the tour from Iowa's RAGBRAI. Georgia's event started out as the Great GASBE (Georgia's Annual State Bicycling Event). The 1st ride began in Savannah and ended in Columbus. From Savannah the group traveled to Metter and received red carpet treatment. Dublin, Perry, and Thomaston were the next stops. In Thomaston a tradition began of camping on football fields. Of the 120 riders who left Savannah, 60 weary and saddle-sore cyclists arrived in Columbus completing the 300 miles of the first GASBE.

  • Bike/Multipurpose Trail Study for Glynn County, Georgia
    Bike/Multipurpose Trail Study for Glynn County, Georgia JUNE 2016 PREFACE Glynn County was designated an urbanized area by the Federal government following the 1990 census, which led to the establishment of the Brunswick Area Transportation Study (BATS) Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). According to Federal law, the transportation planning process must be carried out by MPOs for designated urbanized areas that exceed a population of 50,000, as well as the area expected to become urbanized within the next 20 years. The Lead Planning Agency, responsible for the BATS planning process, is the Glynn County Planning Department. In addition, the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) provides technical support to, and coordinates with, the MPO throughout the transportation planning process. As the designated MPO for Glynn County, the BATS is responsible for overseeing transportation planning within the MPO planning area to ensure continued accessibility, connectivity, efficiency, mobility, and safety for the movement of people and goods. The BATS works collaboratively with partner agencies in order to address transportation needs by leading planning efforts and directing the flow of federal transportation funds. Glynn County and the Brunswick Area Transportation Study are committed to the principle of affirmative action and prohibit discrimination against otherwise qualified persons on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, age, physical or mental handicap, or disability, and where applicable, sex (including gender identity and expression), marital status, familial status, parental status, religion, sexual orientation, political beliefs, genetic information, reprisal, or because all or part of an individual's income is derived from any public assistance program in its recruitment, employment, facility and program accessibility or services.
