community action teams (cats)
Residents gathered in Moore, Cumberland, Lee and Harnett Counties to learn about and discuss ways to take action for a more sustainable future. As a result of those meetings, residents looked at several issues they would like to address and projects were identified by each Community Action Team. In June 2010, we began our sustainable film series in Montgomery, Richmond and Hoke Counties. In Scotland County, we partnered with the county extension on a local food survey and plan to extend our film series to them soon. To find out more about these projects and Community Action Teams, click on Member Communities and then click on the county you are interested in.
Our Green Business Program was launched in Cumberland County in April of 2008 in order to assist businesses in reducing the costs of energy and water use and solid waste disposal, and to promote the certified businesses' achievements to the public. The Green Business program is now available to businesses in all eight counties in the Sandhills-Cape Fear River region. Read More>>

Based on our original set of five Community Resource Teams - Air Quality, Water Resources, Energy Use, Materials Use & Waste, and Land Use - we have developed seven Sustainable Sandhills Program areas.
