The Local Advisory Committee for the Emily and Richardson Preyer Buckridge Coastal Reserve will meet at 9:30 a.m. Oct. 31 in Columbia, N.C.
The committee will meet in an indoor classroom inside the Pocosin Lakes Main Office, 205 South Ludington Drive. The meeting is open to the public.
The coastal reserve established a new local advisory committee this year, with members appointed by the secretary of the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources. The members were selected to represent different perspectives, including those who use the Buckridge reserve site for hunting, hiking, fishing and other traditional or recreational uses.
The committee of local residents, partners and leaders will 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.
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.
