This inventory of the natural areas, biological communities, and rare species of Person County was funded by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Trust Fund.
This inventory of the natural areas, biological communities, and rare species of Hoke County was funded by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Trust Fund and the US Fish and Wildlife Service. The inventory was co-sponsored by The Sandhills Area Land Trust. This inventory identifies the most significant natural areas in the county, describes their features, and documents all natural communities and rare species of plants and animals associated with them. Habitat conditions, natural processes, and threats are also described.
This inventory of the natural areas, biological communities, and rare species of Stanly County was funded by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Trust Fund.
This survey of the natural areas, rare species, and ecosystems of Chatham County was funded through a contract awarded by the Chatham County Commissioners to the Triangle Land Conservancy. The purpose of this study was to inventory the most imperiled of the county's biological resources, the living features of its landscape. This document is intended to provide guidance not only for land-use decisions by the County Planning Department but also for the conservation efforts of the Triangle Land Conservancy, other local conservation organizations, and interested citizens in general.
Meeting to discuss potential survey areas for 2024.
A meeting will be held to discuss continuing efforts to monitor biodiversity in the New Hope Bottomlands.
Read the report from the NCBP's 2021-2022 biodiversity survey of the New Hope Creek floodplain and associated areas.
The survey described in this report was a follow-up to a larger biodiversity inventory conducted by the NCBP in the Durham County portion of the New Hope Creek floodplain in 2021 and 2022. The current study focuses much more narrowly on mapping the distributions within the New Hope floodplain of two of its rarest species, Big Shellbark Hickory (Carya laciniosa), and the White-nymph (Trepocarpus aethusae), both of which appear to have their best (or only, in the case of the White-nymph) populations in the state along New Hope Creek.
This follow-up to the NCBP's New Hope Bottomlands survey was presented to the Durham Open Space Program, and focuses on some of the key species of conservation concern, including the Big Shellbark Hickory. Read the full report under the Resources > Publications tab.
A 24-hour bioblitz will be conducted at Grandfather Mountain State Park and the adjoining property of the stewardship foundation.
