This project is only possible because of the collaborative work of many people and organizations. Project leaders and a Steering Committee help drive the process forward and keep things organized, but at the heart of it all is always the community. The voices, values, and observations from Tyrrell County are what will help shape the project and ensure that community-identified environmental challenges are addressed.
