Subject: 2008 Paddle Tourism Survey

For those interested in paddling in NC (and beyond!), and Chatham in particular, please consider participating in the 2008 Paddle Tourism Survey!  See below a message from NC State Trails Program.  And please pass along!

As you may know, the North Carolina State Trails Program is launching a research project designed to collect information from both resident and non-resident paddlers who enjoy the lakes, rivers and coastal areas of our state. This is a follow-up study on a survey conducted in 2006. We will use the results from this project to promote paddling, enhance paddling experiences, and increase awareness of paddle tourism throughout North Carolina.

The survey will take approximately ten minutes of your time – you can begin by clicking on this link:

Each respondent will be entered into a drawing for a $200 gift card to the Great Outdoor Provision Company!

The results of this survey will be posted on the NC Parks website in the fall of 2008 at www.ncparks.gov http://www.ncparks.gov/ under Items of Interest.

If you should have questions about the study, our Project Manager, Jennifer Beedle, will be happy to answer them. She can be reached at Jennifer.Beedle-at-ncmail.net or by phone at 919-715-9613.

Please share this information with fellow paddlers both inside and outside North Carolina; we would like to hear from as many people as possible.

Thank you very much for your participation,
Darrell McBane, State Trails Program Coordinator
