Abstract:

Cheerwine, a burgundy-colored cola with a hint of lemon-lime, was first bottled in Salisbury, in Rowan County, in 1917. Cheerwine still remains a family-owned business. The company has begun marketing outside the state and also has developed a respectable mail-order business for North Carolinians who have moved away.

Abstract:

Artist Thomas Bennett is following in the footsteps of artists Audubon and Fuertes in painting highly detailed, accurate paintings of the state's extinct and endangered wildlife. In 1998, he embarked on a ten-year project depicting wildlife in North Carolina and the Southeast. When finished, the series will contain between 70 and 80 paintings. Several of Bennett's paintings hang in the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences in Raleigh, where he has been named the museum's first artist-in-residence.

Abstract:

Some fish, like the largemouth bass, are found in streams throughout the state. Others, like the Carolina madton, have a limited range because of geographical barriers or other factors. These latter fish are called endemic, and there are five species in the state: Carolina madton, Cape Fear Shiner, Waccamaw darter, Waccamaw killifish, and Waccamaw silverside.

Abstract:

Eastern North Carolina received 23 inches of rain in two weeks, half of the yearly total, from Hurricanes Dennis and Floyd. The result was a flood of mammoth proportions. Experts also blame man's altering the landscape as a prime cause of the flooding. Earley describes natural landscapes and floods; altered landscapes and floods; and altered landscapes and Hurricane Floyd.

Abstract:

Early-successional habitats are areas of a mountain forest that are beginning to recover from events like fires, storms, or logging. First come grasses, then shrubs, and finally trees. All of these stages are important to wildlife survival. Earley discusses the value of early-successional habitats for mountain wildlife, their growing rarity, and what steps are being taken to maintain them.

Abstract:

Riparian buffers along streams filter out large amounts of pollution before it reaches streams. Many Neuse River Basin landowners are protesting a temporary rule requiring them to have 50-foot buffers along streams. Champion International Corp., however, voluntarily is leaving 200-foot buffers on thirty-two miles of Upper Tar River Basin streams. The corporation is asking landowners to do likewise.

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:

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:

One of the greatest and most influential conservation books ever published in the United States was published in 1949. The author was Aldo Leopold, and the book was A Sand County Almanac. Only Carson's Silent Spring and Thoreau's Walden are serious competitors. Wildlife biologists Pete Bromley and Phil Doerr discuss what Leopold's work says to citizens of North Carolina at the start of the twenty-first century.

Abstract:

Benefits of fire to woodland and wetland areas include ecosystem restoration. While many agree that more prescribed burning - the controlled burning of forests - is needed, encroaching developments near these areas make it difficult to accomplish.

Abstract:

Pocosins, a unique wetland occurring only in the Southeastern United States and mostly in North and South Carolina, are a paradox. They are a product of water, but to survive, they need to burn periodically, either naturally or by controlled fire.

Abstract:

Carl Schenck, manager of the Biltmore Forest, founded the nation's first forestry school in 1898. The Biltmore Forest School opened the country to the concept of forest management. Today, such new ideas as seeing forests as sustainable and as part of a larger landscape guide forestry management.
