Abstract:

The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program, a unit of the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, seeks to identify the rarest examples of plant and animal life in the state and designate where they are located as significant natural heritage areas worthy of protection. Inventories of plants and animals are being conducted in the state's counties. To date, eighty of the one hundred counties have been inventoried, six are in the process, and fourteen are on the waiting list.
