EarthWindFire, GSC science club recently visited Cumberland Island and the Okefenokee
Swamp.
GSC Science Club returns to
Cumberland Island, Okefenokee Swamp
KAROLINA PHILMON
GSC Marketing Manager
EarthWindFire, Gor
don State College science
club, visited Cumberland
Island, Georgia on Satur
day, April 2 and Okefeno
kee Swamp on Sunday,
April 3. For more than,
20 years this has been an
annual trip for the club,
but this year marked the
first time since 2019 GSC
EarthWindFire was able
to attend.
“This was my eigh
teenth trip with science
club students to Cum
berland Island and to
the Okefenokee Swamp,”
said Dr. Linda Hyde,
GSC professor of biol
ogy. “This is over the 23
spring semesters 1 have
been at Gordon State
College. The trip is dif
ferent every time, and
this time was notable for
the bonding among the
students. They seemed
to enjoy being together
more than any group 1
remember.”
Club members rode
a ferry to Cumberland
Island, which is a natu
ral seashore and limits
the number of people
visiting each day. On the
island, they looked at the
ruins of the Dungeness
mansion, roamed the
maritime forest and the
beach as well as visited
the museum showing the
history of the island.
Hyde said that after a
long first day that ended
with “the emergence of
clouds of biting sand
gnats,” the club returned
to the mainland for din
ner and ice cream in St.
Marys.
“The Cumberland
and Okefenokee trip
was amazing! Our group
had such a fun time
and bonded so much in
the short time we were
there,” said Emma Mixon,
EarthWindFire science
club president. “One of
my favorite memories
was when we all tried
the swamp water for the
first time. Couldn’t have
asked for a better trip!”
At the Okefenokee
National Wildlife Refuge
the following day, a natu
ralist took the group on
a pontoon boat tour of
the Okefenokee Swamp.
It’s the largest blackwater
swamp in North America.
Hyde recollected some
of the favorite sightings
among the group.
“In addition to al
ligators and flowering
swamp plants, favorite
sightings included an
adult barred owl and
its two fluffy-looking
owlets,” Hyde said. “The
adult was feeding its
owlets high in a tree. We
had a great view of the
family.”
Some activities that
concluded the two-day
trip included a tour of
Chesser Homestead, a
“swampers” homestead
dating from the late
1800s, and a walk to an
observation tower over
looking the swamp.
“Like everything here
at Gordon, the best part
of the recent science
club trip to Cumberland
Island and the Okefeno
kee Swamp was easily
the people,” said Susan
Hoffman, EarthWindFire
science club member.
“While we learned a
great deal on the trip
and had the opportunity
to explore the world up
close through science, 1
couldn’t have asked to
go with a more generous
and accepting group of
remarkable individuals.”
