The Great Coharie River Initiative
The Great Coharie River Initiative is designed to restore environmental, educational and cultural significance of the Great Coharie River to Native American communities by enriching water quality and public access.
Counties Impacted:
- Sampson
- Johnston
Over the last two years the Great Coharie River Initiative has amplified awareness regarding the value of water quality along the Great Coharie River following two decades of neglect and abuse by storms and invasion of non-desirable plants and destructive wildlife. The Coharie People and its partners understand clearly how clean and navigable waters will enhance public access for educational, cultural, and recreational opportunities along one of North Carolinas hidden treasures.”
