ABOUT
Nature. Culture. History.
You will find it all along North Carolina's pristine Albemarle-Pamlico Peninsula.
The Partnership for the Sounds is a private, nonprofit organization dedicated to celebrating the environmental resources of this part of the state. We welcome visitors and locals alike to enjoy "down home" heritage at all of our environmental education centers.
