Abstract:

Carrot Island and Bird Shoals are wilderness islands across the Beaufort waterfront. When a portion of Carrot Island was bought by a developer, a group of townspeople formed the Beaufort Nature Conservancy Council to fight the sale of lots. Several local and national organizations made sizeable contributions to buy back the land and make it nature reserve.
