NC Wildlife Cuts Hours At Outer Banks Center For Wildlife Education

May 31, 2009

Starting today the Outer Banks Center for Wildlife Education will be closed on Sundays to reduce expenses. The Centers Hours will now be Monday through Saturday 9 to 5.

The Outer Banks Center for Wildlife Education features exhibits and programs that interpret coastal North Carolina’s wildlife and habitats, natural history and cultural heritage, with daily showings of an award-winning documentary, and a calendar of events and educational courses. Admission to the center is free, as are the educational programs offered. Located in Currituck Heritage Park on Highway 12, the center is next to Currituck Beach Lighthouse and the Whalehead Club. For more information, call (252) 453-0221.

I guess with the problems with the State budget this is not surprising. Although one has to wonder how much money comes from the general fund as opposed to license fees.
