Amy Howard
Hello and welcome to my blog. I am a writer and educator, currently building my own local history project. I live and work among the lovely surroundings of the Guana Estuary. Since 1991, Guana has been my nature refuge – even when it was an hour away.
In my community activities, I learned that the residents of South Ponte Vedra are what keeps the estuary an estuary. This website is dedicated to that story. I produce more content about life in Ponte Vedra in another blog, Paperless Ponte Vedra.
I have two amazing kids, a full life, and a bright future in the new heaven and new earth.
Disclaimer:
Are these articles factual? Who knows? I am merely conjecturing a story from what I see on paper and what locals tell me. Sometimes I add a dash of dialog for flavor.
If something seems amiss or offensive to you, please do contact me so we can preserve truth AND the estuary.
Clubs
South Ponte Vedra Civic Association
The South Ponte Vedra Civic Association is the modern instance of the South Ponte Vedra Association, which made sure Guana did not get sold for development. Nowadays, we run social and civic activities out of our fire station-turned clubhouse.
Friends of GTM
Friends of GTM are the folks who sacrifice their own time and money to keep Guana a preserved estuary.
