Our state is known throughout the nation for our tight-knit environmental education community and quality and variety of environmental education programs. Note how this middle school program, which combines classroom and outdoor instruction with hands-on coastal restoration work, was a success due to the collaboration of several agencies, organizations and volunteers that were all dedicated to environmental education.
The following agencies and organizations all contributed in some way to the environmental education and restoration effort (let us know if we missed one!):
Albemarle-Pamlico National Estuary Partnership
Jockey’s Ridge State Park
N.C. Sea Grant
N.C. Aquarium on Roanoke Island and Jennette’s Pier
N.C. Coastal Federation
The Nature Conservancy
N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries
