Fort Pulaski National Monument is teaming up with Savannah Tree Foundation to plant trees for National Public Lands Day Saturday September 27. Volunteers can expect to participate in marsh cleanup, trail maintenance, fort cleanup, painting, and of interest to all who look in on the Greenway’s progress, work on continuation of the McQueen’s Island hiker/biker trail.

Of note, Fort Pulaski has identified in their master plan a project to extend the McQueen’s Island trail from their entrance all the way to its eastern boundary at the Lazaretto Creek Bridge, all along the old Savannah to Tybee railbed. This work along with a project from the City of Tybee Island and Chatham County will eventually link Tybee into Fort Pulaski via an off road trail, assuming the appropriate treatment of the Lazaretto Creek bridge could be completed.
