Congratulations to the Ibis
Thank you to all who cast a vote in our first election of the Official Nesting Bird of the Lower Cape Fear! It was a strange and sometimes tumultuous race, but in the end, Democracy was the big winner!
We urge you to stay informed with our Tides of Change series highlighting the impact of climate change on our local shores. We urge you to stay active by engaging with some of the great local organizations commited to keeping our shared home healthy and whole.
And, most importantly, we urge you to stay FEARLESS Cape Fear!
