Albemarle-Pamlico Watershed Highway Signs

Highway sign stating "Entering the Albemarle-Pamlico Watershed." — Six highway signs like this notify drivers that they are entering the Albemarle-Pamlico watershed.

As part of APNEP’s commitment to increase public awareness of the Albemarle-Pamlico watershed and its biological and natural significance to the region, in 2019 APNEP contracted with the N.C. Department of Transportation for the manufacturing and installation of six highway signs noting that drivers are entering the Albemarle-Pamlico watershed. Signage was installed at six locations throughout the watershed: Orange County, Wake County, Johnston County, Sampson County and Onslow County. These signs will raise awareness of the extent of the region and of the connectivity from headwaters to the coast.
