Environment

North Carolina's quality of life and its economy depend on a strong natural resource base. To help the public understand complex issues related to environmental quality and to meet changing environmental regulations, North Carolina Cooperative Extension offers a range of educational programs covering water quality, waste management, wildlife management, collaborative problem-solving and more.

For decades, local governments have floated in a sea of locally to federally mandated rules that limit how much rain-borne pollution can legally enter our waterways and, thus, our drinking water supply. Across the state, North Carolina Cooperative Extension agents, backed by research-based information from the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at N.C. State University, provide beleaguered public officials and others with real-world solutions to regulatory compliance.(Story and photo by Art Latham)
