Friends of the Reserve

Connecting you to the natural “string of pearls” on North Carolina’s coast.

The Friends of the Reserve (FOR) is a nonprofit organization, dedicated to supporting the work of the North Carolina’s Coastal Reserve and National Estuarine Research Reserve and ten sites they protect. We are neighbors, families, visitors, students, and professionals. Our goal is connect you to the natural wonder of our Reserves and engage you in helping to protect these places for generations to come.

FOR - NC is asking for help in contacting our elected officials for funding these protected areas.
