We've had good success in past years getting volunteers to help on MLK Jr. Day of Service. Or do you prefer later in the winter /early spring? Also, are deer or other critters of concern at the campground? Do we need to factor in tree protection, in addition to watering with gator bags? Thank you, Karen Karen B.

We've enjoyed the benefits of the last tree planting held here back in October 2007 during the `120 Trees on Tybee' and look forward to taking part in another great initiative! The bald Cyprus planted along the swale through the park has done a remarkable job of removing the previous standing water, as well as provided some much needed shade to our patrons camping beneath them... This past summer brought record numbers of folks to Tybee where they were met with the hottest summer on record! Many of our patrons braved these elements in a tent via our primitive tent sites in order to take part in all that Tybee has to offer. For this reason, the addition of some much needed shade trees in close proximity to these campsites would be a tremendous help, as well as go hand in hand with the mission of the STF. We're excited about this possibility and will be looking forward to hearing from you soon!

I think the project we looked at Thursday is doable. I've given the project information to Karen Jenkins, our Executive director. There will be an assessment of this project and a decision will be made at some time in the near future whether this project is one STF can take on this upcoming planting season. Someone will get back with you about the project shortly. Don't hesitate to contact me if something comes up.
