The beauty of the mountains of Western North Carolina has drawn people since the beginning of the American nation.

The rocky outcroppings of the mountains are evidence of the geologic forces which formed them. Lichens, millions of years old, can be found on the rocks.

Pristine streams flow downward from the mountains providing clear, clean water for those who live here.

The mountains are home to a variety of plant and animal life, interdependent upon each other for survival.

Blackberry bushes provide food for insects, mammals, birds, and humans.
Blackberries grow on the side of the road.

Plants are beautiful as well as useful, attracting visitors to the area.

But there is a delicate balance between using nature for our good and preserving it for the future.

As man has developed the land, he has made many changes; some harmful, some helpful.

As man creates convenience for himself, he must consider conservation of the land.
Phone lines are installed underground along a roadside.

Construction of homes and home sites create areas of erosion which wash away precious topsoil.
A mobile home park owner has installed a fence to retard erosion.

Domestic animals that are raised for commercial enterprises have long been a major cause of pollution of the mountain’s rivers.

Pristine streams are affected by animals and humans before they reach rivers.
A healthy stream is disturbed by thirsty cows.

Insects depend upon plants for food. Humans use pesticides to control them.

Birds depend upon plants for building nests.

Pollution from factories can create a harmful environment for plants.

![Page 21: What Hath Man Wrought? An Environmental Study Hazelwood Elementary School Linda Mackey.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/5519a971550346c9608b4815/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The environmental conditions created by pollution can destroy trees.
The Balsam woolly adelgid, an insect that feeds on fir trees, thrives in an area of intense air pollution.

Careless introduction of plants to the U. S. can cause disease. Many chestnut trees were destroyed by a fungus bark disease in the early 1900s, believed to be of Asiatic origin.

Man can create harm where good is intended. Many introduced plants in the mountains have become pests.
Kudzu, introduced to control erosion, is an eyesore to many mountaineers.

Animals that have been harmed by humans or exposed to other harmful influences must have a home.

It is illegal for humans to keep wild animals as pets.
A raccoon finds a home in a cage.
![Page 26: What Hath Man Wrought? An Environmental Study Hazelwood Elementary School Linda Mackey.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/5519a971550346c9608b4815/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
If you find a hurt or sick wild animal, call the Haywood County Animal Shelter/Animal Control—456-5338.
A deer at the Nature Center can no longer survive in the wild.

This river has been polluted for many years.
Fungi, growing in the river, are evidence of pollution.
![Page 28: What Hath Man Wrought? An Environmental Study Hazelwood Elementary School Linda Mackey.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/5519a971550346c9608b4815/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
After several decades, a ban on eating fish caught in this river was recently lifted. This provides evidence that man has tried to correct his errors.
A once-polluted river is gradually being cleaned up.
