Beyond Ecophobia

If we want children to flourish, says educator David Sobel, we need to give them time to connect with nature and love the Earth before we ask them to save it.

Broad River Basin

The scenery and natural heritage of the Broad River Basin have captivated tourists and ecologists alike. Hollywood even memorialized some of these places on the big screen, including in battle scenes filmed for the 1992 movie “Last of the Mohicans” at the 404-foot Hickory Nut Falls.

Cape Fear River Basin

The 200-mile Cape Fear River is the main tributary and namesake of the state’s largest river basin. It is the only river in North Carolina that flows directly into the ocean.

Catawba River Basin

The Catawba River Basin in North Carolina is a place of extremes—you can discover both urban and wild adventures within its boundaries. The basin contains a large national wilderness area near its headwaters and a major metropolitan area where the Catawba River flows into South Carolina. This haven of natural wonders includes the 6,000-foot Grandfather Mountain, the Pisgah National Forest, Linville Falls, one of the most beautiful and popular cascades in the Appalachian Mountains, and Linville Gorge, one of the deepest canyons in the eastern United States.
