The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program is part of the Office of Conservation, Planning, and Community Affairs within the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources.

These elements of natural diversity include plants and animals which are so rare or the natural communities which are so significant that they merit special consideration as land-use decisions are made.
