The Natural Heritage Program compiles data, creates maps and distributes information about rare species, natural communities and conservation sites. This is a two-way process, that includes distributing and compiling scientific information to inform conservation in North Carolina.

Our knowledgable staff is available to answer information requests about rare species or specific sites.

Our database houses information collected by Natural Heritage Program staff and a wide array of partners who conduct research and provide data. We rely on professional biologists and volunteers to contribute information that will keep our database accurate and up-to-date.
