EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA — Two coastal government workshops, Planning for Open Space, are scheduled for Wilmington and Plymouth this fall.
The North Carolina Division of Coastal Management are hosting the workshops, where participants can learn about the benefits of open space protection; how open space can service multiple needs including recreation opportunities, floodplain management, riparian buffers, military buffers, wildlife habitat and forestry and farmland protection; identify contacts that build framework for open space protection; and how other communities approach open space protection.
