The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission’s (NCWRC) Helene Restoration Division (HRD) is developing its team and moving forward with implementing its Hurricane Helene habitat restoration plan. The 10-year plan is funded through a partnership with the U.S. Forest Service to restore portions of the Pisgah and Nantahala national forests impacted by Hurricane Helene and other recent tropical storms. NCWRC created this new division last February following the signing of a Good Neighbor Agreement with the Forest Service.
