Eye Spy
People have lived on Cumberland for centuries and were able to get what
they needed to survive from the island’s resources. Let’s play Eye Spy
and see if you can discover some things that were used in the past!
{Illustration} I spy a cistern that collected WATER for the
A. Carnegies.
__
{Illustration} I spy wildlife that was hunted for FOOD.
B. __
{Illustration} I spy Spanish Moss that was used by the Timucuans
C. to make CLOTHING.
__
{Illustration} I spy a wall with oyster shells. The shells were
D. fired with sand and water to make tabby providing
SHELTER.
__
These are just a few examples. Other resources provided medicine,
building materials, and a way to make money. Keep your eyes open for
things you could use if you had to live here!
Marvelous Marshes
Millions of plants and animals thrive in the marsh. Most creatures are
just visitors looking for shelter or food in the grass or by the water’s
edge. Take a stroll on the boardwalk looking for signs of life in the
marsh. Circle the ones that you find!

Manatees can also be seen in the marsh. Did you know that manatees can
hold their breath for up to 20 minutes! How long can you hold yours? __
{Junior says:}
