N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission

The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission is a state government agency that practices conservation and management of North Carolina’s fish and wildlife resources.

Hunting, fishing, trapping and boating

The agency issues licenses and permits for hunting, trapping, and fishing, as well as titles and registrations for boats 14 feet or longer and personal watercraft (jet skis) in the state. It employs peace officers (commonly called game wardens) who enforce the rules and regulations associated with these activities. The agency also constructs boating access areas that provide parking spaces for tow vehicles and trailers, and ramps and docks for launching boats into the water. [www.ncwildlife.org]

Education

The agency operates three Wildlife Education Centers, one each in the mountain, piedmont, and coastal plain regions of the state. From its headquarters in Raleigh, it publishes a monthly magazine, and operates an online store that sells books and memorabilia associated with wildlife and conservation.
