NC Land and Water Fund honors Freeman Park
Conservation efforts are being made in the Pleasure Island area. The NC Land and Water Fund honored Freeman Park with a land grant of $4 million dollars this past month, and the money will go towards preserving wildlife and the upkeep of the Carolina Beach sanctuary.
Freeman Park, active in operation for approximately 18 years, houses a variety of coastal plants and marine animals. Before it was established, the area was one of the few that allowed African American families to vacation there. Home to the former Seabreeze Resort, the park was owned by the Freeman family until the land was bought from them. The $4 million dollar loan will span across the 337-acre shoreline and seek to sustain the natural environment and history of the land.

As humans, we are wired for connectivity whether we are able bodied or neurodivergent. In fact, our societal construct is built on the assumption that we would be able to form connections with other people. However, people who are neurodivergent often discover that finding connectivity is often impossible due to the ingrained ableism within our society. As a result, we tend to accept human connections wherever we can find them, and this unfortunately sets us up to be taken advantage of physically, mentally, emotionally or even psychologically. A perfect, yet tragic, example of this is the depiction of Tony Hughes' encounter with Jeffrey Dahmer in the popular Netflix series, "Dahmer".
