Abstract:
Knowing where to go and look gives nature lovers the opportunity to view endangered species in the wild. Weymouth Woods in the Sandhills is a good place to see red-cockaded woodpeckers. Viewing eagles in the Piedmont is best in the upper reaches of Jordan Lake in Chatham County. Red wolves and loggerhead sea turtles are more elusive, but the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge is best for wolves, while Hammock's Beach State Park is good for loggerheads.

Abstract:
Bluebirds are year-round residents of North Carolina. In recent years the species has been in decline because of pesticide use, dwindling habitats, and competition from aggressive non-native species. Conservationists say the best hope for the bird's comeback is wide-spread placement of nest boxes. In 1973, Jack Finch founded Homes for Bluebirds, a nonprofit organization dedicated to restoring the bluebird's habitat. The organization has built and sold tens of thousands of boxes in North and South Carolina, Virginia, and Florida. One worker, Desma Perry, has built 70,000 boxes in the past twenty-five years.

Abstract:
Burgess discusses kenaf, a plant with amazing market potential and versatility that may one day outpace tobacco and cotton in the state's agricultural economy. Farmers in eastern North Carolina hope to become the world's largest single source of processed kenaf. The plant, which is cultivated worldwide, can stand twelve feet high and is very dense. Currently, a group of farmers in Greene, Pitt, and few other counties is growing kenaf. The group, known as Greene Natural Fibers, grows the crop, processes it, and develops markets for their products.
