Abstract:

At first glance, the Sandhills region of North Carolina appears barren; however, a closer look reveals a tremendous biodiversity with unique plants and animals seldom found in other parts of the state. Among these are yellow pitcher plant and northern pine snake, to name only a sample. The entire system is driven by fire. Management practices include prescribed burns that benefit wildlife. The Sandhills Game Land covers over 65,000 acres. Among the most spectacular animals found in the Sandhills is the Southeastern fox squirrel.
