Inventory of Significant Natural Areas and Wildlife Habitats <br />Orange County, NC <br />Eno River Watershed <br />Louisiana waterthrush (Seiurus motacilla), northern parula (Parula americana), and yellow - <br />throated warbler (Dendroica dominica). <br />MANAGEMENT AND PROTECTION: Most of the site lies within Eno River State Park. <br />Periwinkle (Vinca minor) and English ivy (Hedera helix), both escaped remnants from <br />previous settlement, threaten to overwhelm the richest herbaceous flora on this site (as <br />previously mentioned, ginseng has already disappeared, from the Cabelands). Hand removal <br />of these plant pests is required for the long -term integrity of the site. Trail construction <br />should be sited to avoid trampling this herbaceous community and the rhododendron bluff <br />downstream. <br />OV*JNERSMP: State of NC (Eno River State Park), Private <br />REFERENCES: <br />Black, M.
