Planting Seeds Today for a Flourishing Tomorrow

Spring is in the air in North Carolina, and it’s a wonderful time to celebrate the natural beauty of our great state and all the ways we can protect it. If you missed the recent premiere of State of Change: Living with Water, make sure to stream it online or on the free PBS app. The program explores how local communities are returning waterways to a natural state to address the impacts of climate change.

Also available on our website, the PBS app and YouTube are recent Sci NC stories that explore the science of Hurricane Helene, Indigenous farming practices and more.

Let’s explore all the fascinating ways North Carolinians are working together to care for our beautiful home.
