The online public opinion survey is open through Sept. 30.
There is a separate survey for county, municipality, state, and federal recreation providers. Contact grants@ncparks.gov for that link.
The North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources and the Division of Parks and Recreation manage the state’s allocation from the Land and Water Conservation Fund.
