GREENWAYS ACTIVITIES

Several municipal and county governments in N.C. are planning, building, and maintaining corridors of green, natural areas, or greenways.  Often these governmental efforts are backed by community groups.  Contact your city or county planning department or parks and recreation department for information on governmental and non-governmental efforts in your area.  Current centers of activity include the Triangle area, Wilmington, Charlotte, Winston-Salem, Greenville, Jacksonville, Fayetteville, and Greensboro.  The Office of Policy Development, N.C. Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources is currently working on greenway development (919/733-6376).  See the Non-government Information Sources section of this chapter for information on non-governmental groups working on greenway development.
