🌿 Investing in Better Bass Habitat Across North Carolina

The NC Bass Nation Conversation Director, William Frazier, has some exciting things to announce! He just attended the grand opening of the new aquatic plant depot here in North Carolina after helping fund the project by getting a $100,000 grant from AFTCO!

Native aquatic vegetation provides some of the best habitat we can add to our lakes. These plants provide important cover for young bass and the forage they depend on, while being naturally self-regulating, unlike many invasive aquatic plants that can quickly take over a fishery.

This year, the Depot has already provided native plants for a growing number of public waters across North Carolina, and the program continues to expand.

Even better, the plants are available FREE for approved habitat projects. Anglers, fishing clubs, Boy Scout groups, civic organizations and other community groups interested in improving their local lake can work with the NC Wildlife Resources Commission to learn how to bring a native aquatic vegetation project to their favorite body of water.

Thank you to AFTCO, the City of High Point, NCWRC and everyone else who has contributed funding, resources and support to make this project possible.

Healthy habitat means healthier fisheries and better fishing for generations to come. 🎣
