Abstract:

The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program strives to inventory and protect plants, animals, and habitats at significant natural areas, such as Rumbling Bald Mountain. The program has operated for thirty years. Lynch discusses the expert field work done by biologists and botanists that helps agencies and private groups decide on funding needed to preserve ecologically valuable places.
