A searchable database that can provide <br /> county-level and US Geological Survey (USGS) information is also available. The North <br /> Carolina Natural Heritage Program lists T&E species information at the following <br /> websites: <br /> • httl2://www.nenhy.orgLPaizes/heritagedata.html <br /> • http://www.,q n .ororg/Pages/guide.htm <br /> • http://www.nobp.org/Imaizes/2010%2ORare%2OAnimal`/`2OList.-Odf <br /> T& E Species on Your Property: No threatened or endangered species were noted on <br /> the property. <br /> Forest Health <br /> A healthy forest is a forest that possesses the ability to sustain the unique species <br /> composition and processes that exist within it. The health of our forests must be <br /> maintained to ensure the survival of plant and animal species that make the forest their <br /> home, and to protect those processes that maintain a healthy environment. A healthy <br /> forest must also be able to accommodate the present and future needs of people for a <br /> variety of values,products, and services.. Forest health protection issues are often directly <br /> related to the active management of insects and diseases, invasive plants and wildfire. <br /> Yearly inspections for signs of insects, diseases or invasive plant infestations should be <br /> completed by the landowner.
