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:

Brunswick County's Green Swamp is a 140-square-mile haven for plants and wildlife. All fourteen of the state's carnivorous plants live there. The area lay untouched for centuries until 1907 when the Waccamaw Lumber Company began logging operations. In 1974, the Department of the Interior designated 24,800 acres as a National Natural Landmark.

Abstract:

Earley discusses the artistic creations of Sally Nunnally, who is the Educational Coordinator at the Marine Resources Center at Fort Fisher. Nunnally is a nature printer, and the process is called gyotaku, a Japanese word traditionally used to describe prints made from fish. Any object can be used, but the process remains the same--coat an object with ink and press paper against it and an impression of the object will be left behind.

Abstract:

Until the 1800s, wolves were the dominant predator in North Carolina, and accounts of them can be found in colonial records and in early Moravian diaries. Wolf bounties were common during those periods, and settlers were encouraged to kill them. The last wolf sighting in the state was in 1933.
