Abstract:
Recent research conducted at Black River's Three Sister Swamp has uncovered cypress revealing this tree population in North Carolina may be in the third millennium. Topping the age of “Methuselah,” 1,700 years old, are two trees, one 2,088 years old, the other 2,624 years old. Their value may manifest the N.C. Parks and Recreation Division’s proposal to construct a park that protects and showcases these trees.

Abstract:
Cited as the third largest lake in North Carolina and home to endemic species, Lake Wacccamaw’s unique qualities include theories for its origins. Beliefs about the Carolina Bays’ creation range from the handiwork of meteors to the swimming patterns of its fish. As for the community surrounding the lake, Whiteville residents are also defined by the author as endemic. They thrive on small town values, such as tending to the town’s history and resisting a transformation into a tourist site.

Abstract:
The state's saltwater marshes serve waterfowl as nesting, resting, and feeding sites. Because of the controversies between conservationists and developers over the use of salt marshes, they are better known then freshwater marshes. Freshwater marshes are created by glaciers, river deltas, beaver dams, and manmade projects and are as important as the saltwater ones. They provide homes to countless birds, mammals, invertebrates, fish, reptiles, amphibians, and many kinds of plants.
