Abstract:

During 1950-51, the North Carolina Wildlife Commission's Big Game Restoration Program stocked 125 deer on three new wildlife refuges. Barick describes the areas which include Lake Lure Refuge, Hanging Rock State Park, and Little Grandfather Mountain Wildlife Management Area. Restocked areas are closed to hunting for a minimum of five years to allow the stock to multiply.

Casada, Jim

Abstract:

The wild turkey has made a remarkable recovery in North Carolina. From a low of 2,000 in 1970, wild turkeys are now found in all one hundred of the state's counties. Many individuals and groups have played a part in this conservation success story. However, one person deserves special credit for the turkey's comeback. That person is Wayne Bailey, who was the North Carolina Wildlife Commission's lead turkey biologist during the critical decade of the 1970s. Bailey is profiled in this Casada article.

Waldorf, Rosemary I.

Abstract:

North Carolina's wild turkey population, currently at 5,000, is the lowest among the Southeastern states. This number exists only because the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission began a project in 1971 to restore the turkey to its old habitats. Waldorf discusses the progress made on this project and what needs to be done to stop habitat destruction.

Taylor, Mark

Abstract:

Taylor reports on the state's ongoing deer restoration project. The first serious attempts at restoration took place in the 1890s on the Biltmore Estate near Asheville. By the 1930s there were only a few thousand left in North Carolina. However, current work by the North Carolina Wildlife resources Commission has brought the statewide population back to between 400,000 and 500,000.

Abstract:

Waterfowl restoration in the state involves protecting and enhancing wintering habitats for birds that are born far to the north. Monschein discusses several programs that have this goal: Canada Goose Field Sanctuary/Feeding Area Program, North American Waterfowl Management Plan, and the M.A.R.S.H. Program.

Abstract:

Gopher frogs were once common in the lower Coastal Plain and the Sandhills, but loss of habitat has reduced their number. Using one of the few remaining wild populations, the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission and the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher are partnering to raise gopher frogs for restoration.

Norris, Jeannie Faris

Abstract:

Pen-raised quail are useful for training dogs and for stocking on heavily used, controlled-shooting preserves. However, there is as yet no documented evidence that the release system results in long-term quail restoration. The writer says the best way to restore quail is to restore the habitat first.
