“Living on the coast, I’ve seen firsthand the damage, heartbreak, and financial hit that flooding can wreak on our communities. Wetlands are the buffer that help keep families and homes safe.” – Kerri Allen, @NCCoastalFed.

Check out these awesome 4th and 5th graders at Arthur W. Edwards Elementary in Havelock! We had a blast leading lessons on estuaries and rain gardens and the students were so enthusiastic about it!
Some of the kids even became student ambassadors of their school rain garden!

Our wonderful educators had the opportunity to lead two teacher workshops with the @kenanfellows. They discussed climate change impacts and resiliency solutions! One group went to @CapeLookoutNPS and @coresoundmuseum, while the other went to Jockey's Ridge State Park!
