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.
