There’s a lot to cover in this episode so stay with us. We’ll start by revealing the contents of the highly coveted 2024 Mystery Box from our fundraiser in May. If you were thinking of monitoring St. Mary’s coastline this hurricane season through their waterfront cams, think again as we highlight that and other local news involving critical environmental updates affecting our coastlines. We’ll also tease the return of our September fundraiser and discuss something that Cumberland has been needing for quite some time now, a Wilderness MGMT Plan.
