Abstract:
The population of North Carolina will increase to twelve million in 2030. While growth has economic benefits, it can also be costly in terms of degraded land, water, and air quality. In 2000, the NC General Assembly mandated that a million acres of farmland, open space, and other conservation lands would be permanently protected by 2009. In 2002, the NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources created 'One North Carolina Naturally,' to promote and coordinate long-term programs and strategies to protect land and water resources. Smith discusses the program's goals and on-the-ground results in coastal preservation and restoration projects.

Abstract:
Early explorers of North Carolina, including John White, Thomas Heriot, John Lawson, and Mark Catesby, spoke enthusiastically of the endless natural wealth they found. Their words made the early settlers think that the resources were unlimited. Starting with the 18th-century, Davis traces how man has exploited North Carolina's resources and what steps have been taken to preserve them. For example, since 1947 the state has had what is widely recognized to be one of the most effective fish and game management programs in the country.

Abstract:
The North Carolina Nature Conservancy, a nonprofit organization, works to save state land that has irreplaceable natural value. The Conservancy buys land using funds contributed by individuals, companies, and foundations and then transfers it to public ownership. To preserve the best of the state's natural heritage, the Conservancy has begun a $2 million fund-raising effort called “Conserve Carolina.” This will enable them to buy the land when it becomes available. About $1.25 million has been designated to buy land at reserves, including Nags Head Woods, in Dare County; Lanier Quarry Savannah in Pender County; and the Green Swamp in the southeastern part of the state.
