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.
