Abstract:

The St. Francis' satyr is an endangered butterfly that lives only in the artillery impact zones of Fort Bragg in Fayetteville. It was discovered in June 1983 by an off-duty soldier who happened to be an amateur insect collector. In 1995, the butterfly was listed as an endangered species. Biologists are working on a plan to rescue it.

Abstract:

In part three of a three-part series, Wilson recounts the rise of the modern fish hatchery system in North Carolina. The state has a long history of artificial fish propagation dating back to 1877. The modern period began in 1925 when the North Carolina General Assembly appropriated $500,000 to build five new hatcheries around the state.
