Abstract:
Early explorers of North Carolina, including John White, Thomas Heriot, John Lawson, and Mark Catesby, spoke enthusiastically of the endless natural wealth they found. Their words made the early settlers think that the resources were unlimited. Starting with the 18th-century, Davis traces how man has exploited North Carolina's resources and what steps have been taken to preserve them. For example, since 1947 the state has had what is widely recognized to be one of the most effective fish and game management programs in the country.

Abstract:
The population of North Carolina will increase to twelve million in 2030. While growth has economic benefits, it can also be costly in terms of degraded land, water, and air quality. In 2000, the NC General Assembly mandated that a million acres of farmland, open space, and other conservation lands would be permanently protected by 2009. In 2002, the NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources created 'One North Carolina Naturally,' to promote and coordinate long-term programs and strategies to protect land and water resources. Smith discusses the program's goals and on-the-ground results in coastal preservation and restoration projects.

Abstract:
The land Timberlake Farm Earth Sanctuary rests upon currently cannot be used for development, courtesy of a conservation easement in place since 2001. In continuing to set aside the land, visitors can still experience the sacred in its hiking trails, cabins, on-site chapel, and man-made lakes. As for Timberlake’s present owner, Carolyn Toben, the site has had this effect, providing comfort and consolation during a forty year span defined by professional gain and personal loss.
