Picture shows Okefenokee Swamp covered with waterlilies, neverwet, pipewort, ferns, maidencane, and a variety of sedges and grasses, Monday, Mar. 18, 2024, in Folkston. Last month, the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) released draft permits to Twin Pines Minerals for a 584-acre mine that would extract titanium and other minerals from atop the ancient sand dunes on the swamps eastern border, which holds water in the refuge.
