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.

Skidaway Island, home to oceanography and thousands of Savannahians, is the site of the July Savannnah Wheelie!

Join the Savannah Bicycle Campaign for a ride around Skidaway Island. The ride will begin at the picnic area in Skidaway Island State Park and move on through to the Landings. This 7 mile ride takes us through the woods of the state park, over a bridge through the marsh and past a few golf courses along the way. We will return to the State Park for a cookout at the end of the ride.  We will do the grilling, but bring a side to share if you’re planning on eating with us. The ride and the cookout are free, but if you drive to the park, there is a $3 per car charge (of course if you come on your bike, there’s no charge). The more the merrier!

Thanks to Star Bike, Attorney Joe Steffen/Georgia Bike Law and Big H little h for their sponsorship of the July Wheelie!
