Our Programs
Our Commitment
The EBCI Natural Resources program was created in 2015 with a mission to manage, enhance, and protect natural resources for the present-day Cherokee community and future generations.
Our program includes offices responsible for land, water, air, fish, wildlife, and plant conservation activities. The continued maintenance of ecosystem integrity and the associated economic, social, and cultural benefits a healthy environment provides is increasingly challenging as our community grows. Today, EBCI Natural Resources works to integrate cultural values with adaptive scientific initiatives in order to effectively sustain Cherokee natural resources.
