As families head out for trick-or-treating, remember to stay visible, use sidewalks and crosswalks, carry a flashlight, and keep an eye out for cars. Drivers, slow down and watch for little monsters crossing the street! Stay safe, have fun, and enjoy every spooky step. 👻 🎃 🧡

Great opportunity to tell state officials how important it is to support Greenways across the state and in Harrisburg.

NCDOT is creating a shared vision for walking, biking, rolling, and other active ways of getting around in NC. To do this, we want to know how you currently bike, walk, or roll around our state. We also want your suggestions on what can be improved to make those activities safer, more connected, and convenient.

The Statewide Active Transportation Plan team will be at the State Fair on Sunday from 10 a.m. - 7 p.m. collecting your stories. The table is located by the yellow school bus situated between Kiddieland and the Kerr Scott Building.

84 acres along the Rocky River are now permanently conserved in Cabarrus County!

This family farm and forest includes nearly a mile of Rocky River shoreline and will continue to provide farmland, wildlife habitat and water quality benefits for generations to come.

“Every corner of this land holds memories for our family. This conservation easement allows us to protect its natural beauty and agricultural heritage so future generations can enjoy it as we have.”

Read the full story on our blog to learn more about this important conservation project.
