Acquisition of Former Proposed Mining Site near Okefenokee Swamp

planned

The state of Georgia will acquire land previously slated for a titanium and zirconium mining project near the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge. The acquisition aims to protect the swamp's fragile hydrology and preserve the area for conservation and public enjoyment. The land will be managed as a Wildlife Management Area, providing public access for hunting, fishing, and nature-based recreation.
