A long view of Cumberland Island’s natural history

Drawing on more than four decades of observation, Carol Ruckdeschel brings together current data and historical information to document Cumberland Island’s changing natural environment. The volume ranges across flora, fauna, geology, and ecology, with species-level information that also gives it relevance beyond the island to Georgia’s barrier islands and the wider Southeast. Its baseline approach makes change over time a connecting thread: the book records conditions that brief observation periods might miss and organizes them as a resource for understanding the region’s coastal ecosystems.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in Cumberland Island and Georgia’s barrier islands.
  • Natural-history enthusiasts seeking information on coastal flora, fauna, geology, and ecology.
  • Those looking for a regional reference on species and ecosystems in the Southeast.

Book overview

Having lived on Cumberland Island for more than forty years, Carol Ruckdeschel's goal has been to document present conditions of the island's flora and fauna, establishing a baseline from which to assess future changes. Since the late 1960s, she has witnessed many changes and trends that are often overlooked by those carrying out short-term observations. This compilation of data, along with historic information, presents the most comprehensive picture of the island's flora, fauna, geology, and ecology to date. This volume will satisfy a general interest in the ecology of Cumberland and other Georgia barrier islands. New information on individual species is presented, contributing to its value as a reference for the Southeast.
