Pender County has joined the Outdoor NC Movement.

Pender County is a proud partner of the Outdoor NC Alliance and we’re thrilled to share our commitment to stewardship of our shared outdoor spaces with you. We have joined the Outdoor NC movement to preserve and protect our cherished outdoor spaces for future generations to enjoy.

Our goal is to actively promote stewardship and responsible recreation outdoors, which will ensure our state is the world-class destination we know and love.  The goal is simple – it’s a call to action for both residents and visitors to embrace responsible recreation and leave things better than you found them.

Our partnership with Outdoor NC
encourages those visiting to minimize their footprint and impact on the environment.

 
The Outdoor NC Leave No Trace Principles

North Carolina’s breathtaking landscapes—from our rolling mountains to scenic coasts—are treasures worth preserving. That’s why Outdoor NC, in partnership with Leave No Trace, promotes a set of principles designed to protect and sustain our natural spaces for generations to come.

Whether you're hiking, paddling, fishing, or simply enjoying a sunset at the beach,
following these principles ensures that North Carolina’s outdoors remain well kept and wonderful.
