Abstract:

People who want native plants in home gardens have two choices: go to the natural areas where they grow and dig them up or go to nurseries where the staff goes to the natural areas and digs them up. Either situation puts a strain on the natural area's ability to keep producing these wildflowers, bushes, and ferns. Early discusses a plot of the North Carolina Botanical Garden in Chapel Hill to raise these engendered plants on a 350-acre site, and then harvest the seeds for resale to commercial nurseries or private gardeners.

Abstract:

Robert Johnson paints nature. His newest project, \"The Nature Conservancy Series,\" was completed in the spring of 1999 and consists of paintings of ten sites protected by the Nature Conservancy, including Bluff Mountain, Panthertown Valley, and Horseshoe Lake. Don't expect to find the realism of a photograph in Johnson's paintings; his works are interpretations of what he sees. Johnson has lived and worked in North Carolina for twenty-six years, and nature is the subject of much of his paintings.

Abstract:

The mountain ash isn't really an ash. It's part of the rose family, a relative of the backyard bush. Leaf peepers could care less and enjoy the sight of its ruby-colored fruit announcing autumn. Birds and bears dine on its bitter fruit, and Native Americans used it for medicinal purposes. The mountain ash - a useful tree for animals and people, whatever its designation.

Abstract:

Warblers either visit or nest in North Carolina. They are among the hardest birds to find and to identify because they are all the same size and come in a confusing array of colors and share similar field marks and songs.

Abstract:

Ravens are members of the crow family and are the largest of all passerines, or perching birds. They are considered one of the most intelligent and mischievous of birds. Almost extinct along the East Coast at the start of the 20th-century, the bird has made a comeback. In North Carolina, ravens live at altitudes above 3,000 feet.

Abstract:

Woodcocks and snipes spend the summer in New England and Canada and winter in North Carolina. Although these reclusive game birds frequent boggy areas in forests and have many characteristics of upland game birds, they are actually shorebirds that moved inland over time. Earley compares the birds.
