Gestwicki, Tim

Abstract:

Gestwicki describes three wildlife fights that the North Carolina Wildlife Federation undertook to save threatened species and areas. These include work that led to passage by the N.C. General Assembly of the Freshwater Turtle Bill, which mandates strict protection of one of the state's most vulnerable species; creation of riparian buffers, starting in 2002, to protect wildlife in the Catawba River corridors; and opposition which led to the abandonment in 2003 of the proposed Oregon Inlet jetties.
