Martin, D.G.

Abstract:

There are two major threats to native plants in North Carolina. One is the habitat disruption that comes from construction and development. The second is nonnative plants, like kudzu and English ivy, which can dominate the habitats of the native species. Martin discusses the North Carolina Native Plant Society's work in protecting native plant species.

Abstract:

Problems associated with beavers in North Carolina are caused by the flooding of fields or timber. However, farmers can control flooded areas by installing a water-level control device to create a beaver pond and wildlife habitat. Beaver ponds also control siltation and serve as water reservoirs that can recharge depleted underground water supplies.

Abstract:

With the projects described, land owners can welcome more wildlife onto their property. Some easy projects to help welcome wildlife include creating a mini food plot, creating brush piles, cutting standing softwoods, creating an early successional area, girdling non-masting trees, and leaving standing den trees. The importance of planning, directions how to complete each project, and which types of wildlife will be attracted by these projects are all detailed.

Abstract:

While designed for flood prevention and other benefits, a watershed project can provide some unexpected beauty. The Bear Creek Watershed Project, which serves parts of Wayne, Greene and Lenoir Counties in eastern North Carolina, developed dams and a natural landscape to prevent erosion and flooding. The watershed also provides opportunities for bass fishing, nature enjoyment, and habitat for wildlife.
