Abstract:

Since the mid-20th-century, small game, including quail and rabbits, has been declining in the state. To stem this loss, the North Carolina Division of Wildlife and Management established a program called CURE, or Cooperative Upland-Habitat Restoration and Enhancement. Pipkin and Sharpe discuss the program's progress on game lands, including Sandhills, Suggs Mill Pond, South Mountain, and on public lands.

Abstract:

Before the 1970s, quail were abundant for Sandhills' hunters, but the population has rapidly declined since then. One possible answer is that the number of naturally occurring fires, which can revitalize wildlife habitats, have been controlled by man.

Abstract:

Landowners who want to promote wildlife conservation sometimes feel those who provide help are speaking in code. For example, a landowner who goes to the FSA office has a choice of CRP, WRP, EQIP, FIP, SIP, or WHIP programs. Sharpe provides a quick review of the agencies and programs.

Abstract:

Eastern fox squirrels are the largest tree squirrels in the western hemisphere, weighing up to three pounds and being strikingly colored in silver, gray, and black. In North Carolina they are native to the longleaf pine forests of the Southeastern Coastal Plain. Eastern fox squirrels have been known since colonial times and were described and painted by Catesby and Audubon. Yet they are not as well known as the western fox squirrel, that weighs under two pounds and ranges from the Appalachians to the Rockies. The authors discuss what they have learned from their nine-year study of the eastern fox squirrel.

In North Carolina, the fox squirrel is twice the size of the local gray squirrel and is usually found in open hardwood forests. While little is known about the fox squirrel’s general ecology, eastern populations seem to be disappearing.
