The Georgia Environmental Oral History Project was started in 2013 via a partnership between the Russell Library and Betsy
Bean. The project documents the forces that have shaped and are currently shaping the Georgia landscape, including such topics
as environmental activism (with a focus on grassroots activism), legislation related to environmental issues, the environmental
history of the Georgia coast, the interplay between conservation, industry, and tourism, the politics of "sustainability,"
and the relationship between environmental issues and public safety.
Early interviews focus on Brunswick and Glynn County including numerous Superfund sites, the development issues surrounding
St. Simons Island and Jekyll Island, and the challenges of protecting coastal marshlands.
