Abstract:

The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission has curtailed unauthorized activities at the 4,400-acre Needmore Game Land because of concerns over public safety and habitat degradation. The land lies in Swain and Macon Counties. Commission concerns were associated with unrestricted camping practices and reports of alcohol and drug abuse. Restrictions include prohibiting the use of all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and prohibiting gathering of native plant materials.
