About
The Eastern North Carolina Sentinel Landscape spans nearly 11 million acres across a 33-county region in North Carolina’s coastal plain and sandhills. Home to seven key military installations and ranges - Fort Roland L. Bragg and Camp Mackall, Seymour Johnson Air Force Base and the Dare County Range, Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, and Marine Corps Air Stations Cherry Point and New River, military related activity is the second economic driver in the state. The partners of the Eastern North Carolina Sentinel Landscape continue to strengthen military readiness while bolstering forest and farm economies, conserve natural resources for ecosystem services, provide public outdoor recreation opportunities, and address resource vulnerability management.
