NC Division of Parks and Recreation Mission Statement:

The North Carolina State Parks System exists for the enjoyment, education, health and inspiration of all our citizens and visitors. The mission of the state parks system is to conserve and protect representative examples of the natural beauty, ecological features and recreational resources of statewide significance; to provide outdoor recreational opportunities in a safe and healthy environment; and to provide environmental education opportunities that promote stewardship of the state's natural heritage.

• Don't forget to thank them for buying other property here in the Hickory Nut Gorge for the new state park and lobbying for funds from the NC General Assembly.

If you have time, please copy us any emails, letters or notes you send. We would like to archive all the work done in regard to saving Chimney Rock Park.  Thank you for all your help!  savechimneyrock@aol.com
