Local advisory committees for the Currituck Banks component of the N. C. National Estuarine Research Reserve, Kitty Hawk Woods Coastal Reserve and Buxton Woods Coastal Reserve will meet Oct. 29 and 30. The meetings are open to the public.
The N.C. Division of Coastal Management announced that:
· The Buxton Woods Local Advisory Committee will meet from 3-5 p.m. Oct. 29, at the Buxton Fire Department, N.C. 12, west of the Lighthouse Road intersection, Buxton, N.C.
· The Currituck Banks Local Advisory Committee will meet from 9:30-11:30 a.m. Oct. 30, at the Outer Banks Center for Wildlife Education, Currituck Heritage Park, 1160 Village Lane, Corolla, N.C.
· The Kitty Hawk Woods Local Advisory Committee will meet from 2-4 p.m. Oct. 30, at the Kitty Hawk Town Hall, 101 Veterans Memorial Drive, Kitty Hawk, N.C.
The committees consist of local residents, partners and leaders who provide the N.C. Division of Coastal Management’s Coastal Reserve and National Estuarine Research Reserve staff with guidance and feedback regarding management of the reserve sites.
The Kitty Hawk Woods and Buxton Woods committees will welcome new members, appointed earlier this year by the secretary of the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources. The new members were selected to represent a diversity of perspectives, including uses and topics related to each individual reserve site, which may include recreational use, traditional use, volunteering, education or research.
The N.C. Coastal Reserve and National Estuarine Research Reserve Program protects natural areas for education, research and compatible recreation. Since its creation in 1989, the program has preserved more than 41,000 acres of unique coastal environments at 10 sites along the coast.
