Please join the Superintendent and park staff to learn about and discuss the proposed Kingsley Plantation - Ribault Club Interpretive Tram Tour
 
Description:
The National Park Service, Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve is proposing to improve the interpretive connectivity and visitor mobility between the Kingsley Plantation and the Ribault Club by providing an interpretive tram service. The proposed project would also include a new maintenance and storage facility for the trams and transportation stops at Kingsley Plantation and the Ribault Club. The proposed site for the maintenance and storage facility is located at the site of the "Johnson Barn" on Fort George Island and is adjacent to the Kingsley Plantation. The proposed tram would utilize existing infrastructure by operating along L'Engle Avenue and the Multi-use Trail, with the interpretive tram tour traveling in both directions along this route and requiring the vehicle to turn around at Kingsley Plantation and the Ribault Club. The route is 3.4 miles round trip. Visitors could board the tram at either site from the Kingsley Plantation parking lot and the Ribault Club driveway. The Multi-use Trail provides the best opportunity for historic and ecological interpretation and allows us to maximize visitor opportunity to learn about the history and ecology of Fort George Island.

Meeting Directions/Instructions:
The open house will not involve a formal presentation. The Superintendent and park staff will be available to answer questions and discuss the proposed tram tour and accept written comments. Copies of the EA on CD or hardcopy will be available upon request.
