GNPS Fringed Campion Chapter in the News!

1 min read · Long read · 2026

Please join us in celebrating our Fringed Campion chapter’s efforts at Amerson River Park that have received a special acknowledgment in Macon’s local newspaper, The Telegraph.

Here’s an excerpt from the article:

“Over 350,000 people visited Amerson River Park in 2025, according to Visit Macon. Fringed Campion chapter vice president Julie Savage sees the habitat restoration as an added benefit to those visitors. ‘Amerson’s a public space that we have a really unique opportunity to share with the community,’ Savage said. “‘If we want to see things like lightning bugs and all of our fun birds, and butterflies, we need to make sure we’re supporting that native habitat.’”
