Conservation Homecoming 2023
Happening throughout the week of Oct. 30 - Nov. 3
This Fall, the Georgia Water Coalition is taking our work to protect the Okefenokee to the coffee shop! We are working with our members around the state to set up meetings with their legislators at local coffee shops to talk about the importance of protecting the pristine Okefenokee Swamp from mining. Will you set up a meeting with your state representative and senator to discuss how we can protect the Okefenokee?
We know that one-on-one conversations with constituents is one of the most powerful ways to convince legislators to protect the Okefenokee by passing the Okefenokee Protection Act (Georgia House Bill 71). Having those conversations away from the hustle and bustle of the state's Capitol is even better, and that is the goal of Conservation Homecoming!
