WAYCROSS — The Dogwood Alliance has written a letter to the National Park Service Office of International Affairs urging the nomination of the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge as a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Site. This occurred during a 21-day public comment to gather input on the next potential U.S. nominations from the tentative list to the World Heritage List, which ended June 28.
βThe refuge is very special and valuable, and it should be protected and known around the world,β conservation scientist Sam Davis wrote in the letter.
