ST. SIMONS LAND TRUST PRESERVING THE NATURAL AND SCENIC CHARACTER OF OUR ISLAND

spring 2012 Skilled Hands Preface Big Plans for Cannon’s Point The St. Simons Land Trust’s vision for Cannon’s Point is to acquire and set aside, in perpetuity, all of its 600 acres as a quasi- wilderness preserve, open to the public, offering passive recreation and low-impact educational and historic interpretive programs for visitors. Among the proposed, low-impact recreational opportunities at Cannon’s Point will be a 2-mile trail through the site’s maritime forest _a delight for hikers, naturalists and birders. To ensure that the planned trail does not impact any areas containing buried artifacts from Cannon’s Point’s rich history, a team of researcher s_led by Dr. Nick Honercamp, an archaeologist from UT- Chattanooga and his wife Norma Harris, an archaeologist from the University of West Florida _recently began preliminary shovel-testing (also known as “ground-truthing”) along the trail’s route. The group of 25 persons, including college students, grad students and volunteers, carefully performed the work along the proposed trail route. At designated intervals, narrow 30-cubic centimeter holes were dug using hand shovels. The excavated material was then sifted through a wire-mesh screen, exposing larger items for closer examination. According to Susan Shipman, a Land Trust Board member and Chair of the Cannon’s Point Conservation Task Force, finding items such as pottery sherds, bones or other artifacts along the trail can mean moving the proposed route to protect areas of value. “The Land Trust is committed to a very holistic approach to enjoying Cannon’s Point once it is acquired. Everything we are doing places the highest priority on preserving its rare natural, historic and cultural assets,” said Shipman. Small, yet important. A sample of the many artifacts revealed during the recent shovel-testing at Cannon’s Point. All will un dergo greater examination by archaeologists. Cannon’s Point Fundraising Update: According to Ben Slade, Executive Director of the St. Simons Land Trust, $19.8 million of the $25 million needed to acquire Cannon’s Point has been received or pledged from individuals, foundations and challenge grants. “The Land Trust and campaign committee co-chaired by Bill Jones III and Davis Love III, is working diligently to reach our goal of completing the acquisition of Cannon’s Point by Fall of 2012,” Slade said. A complete report of the Cannon’s Point campaign, including recognition of all those who donated to the project, will be published upon reaching the funding goal –anticipated for Fall, 2012.

Work Begins on St. Simons Island’s Newest Bike Path Cyclists in the Golden Isles will soon be able to enjoy a newly planned bike path to be created along the Sea Island Causeway linking St. Simons Island and Sea Island. The roughly one-mile path (shown in red on the map below) will stretch from the intersection of Frederica and Sea Island Roads on St. Simons along Sea Island Causeway to a turnaround point at the Sea Island security gate. The project is a collaboration of Sea Island, which designed the trail, the PATH Foundation of Atlanta, and the St. Simons Land Trust. In designing the path, Sea Island also worked closely with officials from Glynn County and the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. Due to its proximity to the marsh, and to be in keeping with DNR guidelines, the path will be constructed of a special pervious material to allow storm water to percolate through the surface.

"We are very pleased to see this path come about. Our first major path, completed in 2010 along the length of Lawrence Road, involved these same organizations and has been very popular." – Ben Slade, Executive Director of the Land Trust.
