"To conserve and enhance North Carolina's bird habitat by promoting sustainable bird watching activities, economic opportunities and conservation education."
Welcome to the North Carolina Birding Trail!
Our Trail is more than just lines on a map. It physically links great bird watching sites and birders with communities, businesses and other local historical and educational attractions.
Efforts to develop the North Carolina Birding Trail began in October 2003. As of summer 2009, the Trail is now complete across the entire state - coastal plain, piedmont, and mountain regions. See the Ordering Information box to the right for details on each of our regional trail guides.
