Abstract:

The Transamerica Insurance Company donated 768 acres of wildlife habitat in Hyde County to the North Carolina chapter of the Nature Conservancy. The chapter plans to give the land to the U.S. Department of the Interior for inclusion in the Swan Quarter National Wildlife Refuge, which was established in 1932. Three known federally endangered species are known to inhabit the refuge--bald eagles, peregrine falcons, and American alligators.
