Jim Bitler, of the Ossabaw Island Foundation guided our group on an education tour of the Island. Topics
included Barrier island formation, tides, beach ecology, marsh ecology, forest ecology, birding and sea turtles.
Cultural History topicswere; Native American history, Colonial and Antebellum Ossabaw 1700-1860 and Ossabaw
as Heritage preserve 1978-present.See Sandy West, one of '4' individuals who live on the Island. She sold the Land
to the State of Georgia with specific instructions, that it be used and preserved for education, research and preservation.
Sandy normally does not visit the volunteers and educators who visit the Island. But on this rare occasion
she showed up as the last group of KIW hikers set out to depart.
