Today the CCA NC Fisheries Gone Wild podcast crew begins a new series highlighting the Outdoor Sporting Heritage in North Carolina. Outdoor sporting activities, particularly hunting and fishing, are a way of life for millions of North Carolinians, passed down from one generation to the next as an important part of our local heritage, connecting us to our local history and natural resources. This heritage relies on healthy ecosystems and public waters and lands, demanding responsible stewardship. Additionally, outdoor recreation fuels a multibillion-dollar economy, supporting guides, businesses and conservation efforts. Preserving this heritage ensures continued access and opportunities for future generations to enjoy.
