Investing in Communities - Building Quality of Life
2009
The Recreation Resource Service (RSS) Green Practices website helps parks and recreation people, programs and facilitites GO GREEN! Want to step up your recycling program, install a community garden, pursue LEED certification for your buildings? If so, this website has the information you need. RRS is a partnership of the NC State Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism Management and the North Carolina State Parks.
The NC Birding Trail helps birders locate the many and varied species found in North Carolina. The Tourism Extension Program at NC State University helps communities leverage this abundance of both birds and birders to improve the economic well-being and stability of their communities. The Birder Friendly Business and Birder Friendly Community training program provides tools and information to market local businesses and communities to birders as they travel the NC Birding Trail. The program provides information on special needs for this niche market, as well as specific suggestions and ways to reach this market.
