Help Protect Wildlife & the Battleship NC

LIVING WITH WATER
Help Pedestrian Access & Wildlife at the Battleship NORTH CAROLINA

The Battleship NC site experiences flooding during most high tides, and not just during storms, but even during sunny-days. The Living with Water project aims to preserve the Ship experience and protect wildlife by restoring the shoreline with an intertidal estuarine living shoreline, and restore the 2-acre flood prone area with a wetland habtiat.

Thank you in advance for your support and generosity.
