Since its inception in 2005, Exploring North Carolina has been watched with particular excitement by students, teachers and school administrators across the state. Each episode in the series ― a unique partnership between the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, UNC-TV and Natural World Productions ― is a mini-adventure featuring detailed information on the plants, animals, geology and history (natural and social) of North Carolina’s greatest places. Now, thanks to the support of the William R. Kenan Trust, DVDs containing selected episodes of the series have been delivered at no cost to middle and secondary public schools statewide.
