Why Ocmulgee Matters: Key Reports & Resources
Published in 2017 by the National Parks Conservation Association, the Diamond in the Rough Report explores the potential economic and cultural impact of establishing a new Ocmulgee National Park and Preserve in Middle Georgia.
It highlights how the proposed designation could drive long-term regional growth by boosting tourism, preserving natural and cultural resources, and enhancing community revitalization.
The Ocmulgee River Corridor Special Resource Study, conducted by the National Park Service (NPS), evaluated a 50-mile stretch of the Ocmulgee River between Macon and Hawkinsville, Georgia, to determine its eligibility for inclusion in the National Park System.
