Marine resources; Oceanography; Coastal zone management; Coastal ecology. c ometimes, in the stillness of the Croatan National Forest, the quiet drumming of a red-cockaded woodpecker can be heard. Nesting cavities high in selected longleaf pines indicate the presence of a resident group of the endangered bird — found only in scattered longleaf pine savannas in the Southeast This day no rare bird reveals itself by sound or sight. Even on a slow birding day, nature lovers can spot an array of rare or endangered flora, such as the Venus fly trap, says John Fussell, naturalist and environmental consultant from Morehead City. Fussell leads the way just past a fire line at the southern edge of the national forest to his destination: the 841 -acre Pettiford Creek Tract. This is "ecologically significant land with multiple conservation values" for this central coastal area, he explains. Its acquisition, negotiated by the North Carolina Coastal Land Trust (NCCLT), was completed in 2004. Until then, the undeveloped Pettiford Creek Tract was eyed for its significant real estate value. Pettiford Creek, a tributary of the White Oak River, ripples along the site's 2.4-mile waterfront The mature longleaf pines, wetlands, streams and sandy upland bluffs might have become the backdrop for an upscale development Instead, the tract now is part of the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission's (WRC) public game lands program that will reap priceless benefits for the environment and the public, Fussell says. The intact land continues to support endangered and rare flora and fauna. And, officials from WRC and the N.C. Division of Forest Services are designing a prescribed burn program to extend conservation benefits seamlessly across state and federal forest boundaries. Moreover, the land buffers a portion of Pettiford Creek that remains open for shellfish harvesting. Conservation groups are attempting to enhance aquatic hab- itat by protecting connected buffers alon
