Earley, Lawrence S.

Abstract:

Who gets to use the state's lands and for what purpose? For the wildlife and plants that inhabit it, who speaks for their needs? In this third of a four-part series, Earley examines the forestlands. In North Carolina 75 percent of the forestland is in small, privately held sections. For many owners profit is the main concern, with the needs of wildlife placed second.
