County Surveys For Beavers
Beaver numbers have been on the increase in Brunswick County for
the past several years.
With the increase, the Brunswick County Agriculture Extension Serv
ice has received more and more calls of damage caused by the semi-aquat
ic r xlcnt, said Milton Coleman, county Agriculture Extension director.
Several agencies are hoping to develop a regional management pro
gram for beavers. Coleman said. "We'ie doing a survey of folks on their
experiences with beavers, be it good or bad."
If beavers have provided landowners with benefits or have created
damage, persons are being asked to contact the Agriculture Extension
office in Bolivia to report their encounters.
The Brunswick County Soil Conservation office, N.C. Wildlife
Commission, N.C. Department of Transportation and local timber com
panies are also helping to organize the beaver management program.

Hope Harbor Short $3,200
As May 1 Deadline Nears
Hope Harbor Home, a Brunswick
County shelter for battered and
abused women and children, is in
danger of losing a 510,000 challenge
grant it was awarded in February.
The non-profit organization has
raised around 56,800 to match the
grant but it must have 510,000 by
Wednesday, May 1. If Hope Harbor
cannot match the grant the money
will not be awarded.
"It is imperative that we receive
this grant to support this fiscal year
budget," said Cathy Swaim, Hope
Harbor director.
The Kathleen Price and Joseph M.
Bryan Family Foundation of Greens
boro awarded Hope Harbor the grant
to be used for general operating
costs.
It is the first year the shelter has
received the Price-Bryan grant,
which is primarily awarded in the
field of arts and culture, education
health, human services and public
interest.
"The purpose of a challenge grant
is to make the public more aware
and more involved in a community
program," Ms. Swaim said. "They
feel the community should be sup
porting its own programs."
Residents can help by either do
nating money or gifts in kind to
ward matching the grant as long as
a monetary value can be placed on
the gift.
Hope Harbor serves the women
and children of Brunswick County
who arc victims of domestic vio
lence. The shelter provides a safe
place to stay away from the violence.
The program also offers court ad
vocacy, a 24-hour crisis line and
group counseling for both women
and children.
For more information on Hope
Harbor's programs or to make a do
nation toward meeting the challenge
grant call 754-5726.
Chairman Urges Stewardship
Brunswick Soil and Water Con
servation District Chairman James
D. Bellamy is encouraging area res
idents to do their part to protect the
environment and join in the annual
observance Soil and Water Steward
ship Week.
The national conservation cam
paign runs April 28 through May 5.
The local district office has litera
ture available to the public and can
help line up speakers to discuss the
responsibility of being a good stew
ard of soil and water resources, ac
cording to a news release.
Brunswick County is one of near
ly 3,000 conservation districts na
tionwide that work with the Nation
al Association of Conservation Dis
tricts to encourage greater resource
stewardship through the annual
week-long observance.
Bellamy said he hopes this year's
observance will help individuals re
alize that their own actions have
good or bad effects on the environ
ment.
"By taking positive environmen
tal steps ? as simple as planting a
tree or reducing pcsticide use ? ev
ery person can be a sower, not just
in the fields where food and fiber
crops are grown, but in the broader
fields of life," Bellamy said.
The Brunswick Conservation
District has materials designed es
pecially for the theme of the 1991
observance, "As You Sow," the
news release states.
Literature can be picked up at the

of about 100 teens to participate in
classroom discussions at N.C. State
University and to visit field sites

cash prizes, including a scholarship.
