Abstract:

The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission is acquiring over 65,000 acres of land from the International Paper Corp. The land consists mostly of bottomland forests, floodplains, and wetlands, making them valuable for water quality protection. Several tracts contain rare and endangered plants and animals. Most of the land lies in the northeastern and southeastern sections of the state.
