Abstract:
Union Camp Corporation, a major forest products company, has deeded a 176-acre tract of woodlands along the Roanoke River in Northampton County to the Nature Conservancy. The area is known as Camassia Slopes. About 500 plants have been found there, representing 95 percent of the known plant families in North Carolina. Over two dozen rare and endangered wildflowers grow there, including James' sedge, eastern wahoo, and three-bird orchid.
