This Zone is the statewide navigation surface for Georgia-wide trail, stewardship, access, public-land, funding, policy, agency, and outdoor-community topics. Use this Zone for statewide resources, Georgia agency information, statewide trail and conservation programs, statewide organizations, and issues that cross more than one region.
Georgia’s outdoor life runs through several different Souths at once: North Georgia ridges and waterfall country, Atlanta’s Chattahoochee and urban greenway network, the fall-line cities of Columbus, Macon, and Augusta, South Georgia pine woods and blackwater rivers, the Okefenokee, coastal marshes, barrier islands, and cross-border outdoor communities tied to Chattanooga, the Savannah River, the First Coast, and the Florida line.
Local trail reports, club activity, event planning, route questions, volunteer projects, visitor questions, and county-level Discussion belong in the regional Zones below. Use this statewide Zone when the topic really belongs at the Georgia-wide level.
