forest communities in the county, and in the northern half of 

 North Carolina. 



With this in mind, it might be possible to approach the 

 Story and Vaughan families to see if they would consider marking 

 off these tracts to be left undisturbed as natural areas. If this 

 would impose too great a financial hardship, perhaps they would be 

 willing to enter into some sort of easement to preserve these 

 tracts and give them some financial benefit.
