Abstract:

Springer's Point is one of the largest undeveloped tracts remaining within the historic village of Ocracoke. This thirty-one-acre site was once poised for development, but it was saved by a ten-year preservation campaign led by the North Carolina Coastal Land Trust with support from several similar groups. The new preserve is a diverse coastal community of plants, wildlife, and things that go bump in the night. An interpretative trail leads visitors through the area.
