There are many resources that may be useful in implementation in a number of state agencies –
Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Division of Forest Resources, Division of
Community Assistance (DCA), Department of Agriculture, Wildlife Resources Commission (WRC), NC
Geological Survey, and others – depending on what type of implementation activities will be
undertaken.  Here are a few:

Communities project.
