Abstract:
The Conservation Fund, in partnership with Duplin County Cooperative Extension Service and the Southeastern North Carolina Agri-Tourism Development Coalition, was awarded a generous grant of $7,000 from the 2002 Southern Region SARE program and the Southern Rural Development Center. The funds were awarded to support a two-year project designed to develop four agri-tourism trails and trail maps that link agri-tourism businesses in a 9-county area in southeastern North Carolina. The maps were envisioned as a means of marketing and showcasing agri-tourism businesses, and of stimulating the development of other related spin-off businesses and new agri-tourism businesses.
