Administration

The magnificent natural resources of the North Carolina state parks system and the field staff who serve as their primary stewards are the most visible and recognizable images of the Division of Parks and Recreation. However, behind the scenes specialists play a critical role in helping the agency fulfill its mission. Those include biologists and researchers in natural resource management, land acquisition specialists and other professional administrative staff. The planning and administrative section of the division oversees personnel, communications, enterprise development, information technology, budgeting, accounting, land acquisition, resource management, regional planning and grant administration.
