Abstract:

The second story in the series on fracking in North Carolina (first story in May 11, 2011 issue). Private landowners are signing one-sided contracts with exploration companies searching for natural gas. Under these contracts, private citizens will earn less than citizens in other states where fracking is common. Additionally, the private landowners will be liable for the cost of cleanup in the case of environmental disasters, fines for zoning and land use violations, and other legal fees. These fees will likely cost them more than they will make from the royalties on their land.

Abstract:

There is considerable debate over fee hunting in North Carolina. Many argue they have the right to hunt and should not have to pay a fee. The dilemma is further complicated by land owner rights and public land access.

Abstract:

There is increasing debate over outdoor use of public and private lands. Privatization of federal public lands will affect us all but mostly those who wish to use public lands for recreation. The principal argument is that private ownership results in better, more profitable management.

Abstract:

Concerns about the impact of human settlements on the available land suitable for agriculture have been rising rapidly during recent years. A study by the Pennsylvania State University Office for Remote Sensing of Earth Resources determined the extent and geographic distribution of soil productivity for land presently under urbanization in the contiguous United States. Specific results for North Carolina are provided in this article, and show the status of soil resources in relation to urbanization.

Abstract:

Trespassing has become a big problem in North Carolina. As more acres are lost to development, growing numbers of outdoor recreationists are competing with each other for less space. Landowners are further hampered by too few officers to enforce trespassing.

Conflict between landowners and hunters occasionally occurs in North Carolina, as public hunting lands become more crowded. There is still private land for hunting, but finding it takes resourcefulness, honesty and plain old-fashioned courtesy.

Abstract:

North Carolina leads the country in the loss of farm and forest lands. In the last decade, over one million acres have been lost, and in their stead stand shopping centers, housing developments, parking lots and roads. With massive increases in population, especially in the area of retirees, and the ongoing destruction of the natural world, land conservation in North Carolina is crucial to its future.
