In March and April 1983, the NC Center for Public Policy Research identified, sent letters of introduction, and then surveyed nearly 200 Purpose of the Project organizations believed to be private environmental groups in North Carolina. The purpose of this document is to provide a useful list of the citizens' Of these 200, some were found not to exist anymore, others were found to be groups in North Carolina that are active in issues and programs directly groups whose primary concern was something other than the environment related to environmental quality. With up-to-date names and addresses of (see Part II),'while a few simply failed to return the survey. In all, we identified contact persons for each organization, the guide enables anyone to coordinate 108 environmental groups in the state, of which 89 are actually listed in this with organizations that may have mutual interests in certain issues or guide.
