for the public to comment on the first update to Cumberland’s visitor use management plan since 1984.
The long-term plan outlines how visitors are allowed to use and experience Cumberland while also protecting the island’s diverse ecosystem and historic features.Cumberland’s Spanish-moss covered live oaks, marshes, and a peaceful 17-mile beach untouched by development are postcard perfect examples of barrier island beauty.
