Скачать или смотреть Conserving Carolina/WCP program - "NC's Black Bears: A Wildlife Success Story

Conserving Carolina held a free lecture entitled, “North Carolina's Black Bears: A Wildlife Success Story,” presented by Colleen Olfenbuttel, NC Wildlife Resources Commission Black Bear Biologist, on June 15, 2019.

North Carolina’s Black Bear population was almost extirpated from North Carolina, but due to conservation and management efforts by the NC Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC), Black Bears have been restored to North Carolina. However, while Black Bears are a wildlife success story, their increasing abundance has resulted in increased human-bear interactions. In response, the NCWRC, in partnership with 14 other state wildlife agencies, as well as local partners, is promoting BearWise, a southeast regional program to help people live responsibly with Black Bears.

This program will teach you how Black Bears recovered in North Carolina, the research the state agency conducts to monitor bear populations, and how you and your neighbors can prevent conflicts with bears.

Walnut Creek Preserve is an equestrian and nature preserve community outside of Lake Lure, North Carolina, offering for sale large tract acreage (10-35 acres) horse farms. WCP is an exceptionally large tract of over 2,100 acres of land whose development has been designed with horseback riding, hiking and nature study in mind. The Preserve's 2,100 acres of forest and pasture land shelter a tremendous variety of indigenous plant life, including several rare and one threatened species, as well as a wealth of wild animal life. To assure their survival, only 25 wooded and equestrian home sites averaging 20 acres each will be offered for sale on the 2,100 acres, and the remaining, over 1,500 acres of wilderness are protected in perpetuity by deeded conservation easement held by Conserving Carolina (formerly Pacolet Area Conservancy).
