DMS Project Partners Boundaries feature layer

This is a feature layer of NCDEQ Division of Mitigation Servcies projects completed in partnership with other state agencies, local governments, NGOs, land trusts, Federal government and other funding or stewardship entities. It contains attributes derived from DMS Project Boundaries feature service, as well as additional fields for project-specific information. The layer was created to display DMS partner projects within the DMS Project Partners Experience Builder and Mitigation to Recreation: Public Lands and Parks StoryMap. From the mountains to the coast, the NC Department of Environmental Quality’s Division of Mitigation Services has invested over $1.1 billion to protect and restore more than 758 miles of stream and over 80,000 acres of natural land in the state. Some of those projects result in public lands or parks, which play a vital dual role in landscape stewardship and recreation. By restoring streams, wetlands, forests, floodplains, and other ecological systems, these projects safeguard natural resources, enhance water quality, reduce flood hazards, improve habitat, reduce erosion, and strengthen resilience. Through partnership and perpetual land protection, these areas become valuable community assets, offering trails, open space and nature-based recreation that encourage public engagement and environmental appreciation.
