Developed hands-on lesson plans and activities will help educators and students gain a great-er knowledge of these byways while providing tremendous resources about their geographical, historical, and cultural significance. The project targeted Fourth Grade teachers because they are in an advantageous position to influence children to be environmentally conscious and because the Fourth Grade curricula are compatible with the goals of the project.

The results of teacher research and explorations are presented here, a guide written for teachers, by teachers. The activities presented may be copied and used by any teacher or group who wishes to learn more about the Scenic Byways of North Carolina.
