Sorrie Inventory Biologist North Carolina Natural Heritage Program Office of Land and Water Stewardship Department of Environment and Natural Resources Raleigh, NC Funding provided by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Trust Fund July 2014 ABSTRACT This inventory of the natural areas, biological communities, and rare species of Dare County was funded by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Trust Fund. The inventory identifies the most significant natural areas in the county, describes their features, and documents all natural communities and rare species of plants and animals associated with them. Habitat conditions, natural processes, and threats are also described. The inventory is intended to provide guidance for land use decisions by county, state, and federal governments, conservation and land management organizations, and interested citizens. Field work was carried out by Bruce A. Sorrie of the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program during 2012 and 2013. The inventory identifies 34 areas of outstanding ecological significance as determined by criteria established by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Many individuals and agencies contributed to the planning, progress, and completion of this inventory. Jame Amoroso, Misty Buchanan, John Finnegan, Harry LeGrand, Janine Nicholson, and Linda Rudd reviewed the draft report and maps and assisted in the production of the final copy.

Currituck Heritage Park
Currituck Heritage Park Welcome to the Currituck Heritage Park, featuring the most intricate highlights amongst Corolla, North Carolina. Although park admission and many of the events at Currituck Heritage Park are free, by touring the historic Whalehead Club visitors support the Whalehead Preservation Trust, a non-profit organization established in 1993 to restore and preserve the Whalehead Club. The park is open from dawn until dusk daily and we hope you visit often. Currituck Heritage Park The park is open from dawn until dusk daily and we hope you visit often. a) Currituck Beach Lighthouse On December 1, 1875 the beacon of the Currituck Beach Lighthouse filled the remaining "dark spot" on the North Carolina coast between the Cape Henry light to the north and Bodie Island to the south. To distinguish the Currituck Beach Lighthouse from other regional lighthouses, its exterior was left unpainted and gives today's visitor a sense of the multitude of bricks used to form the structure… b) Whalehead Club In 1922, Industrialist Edward Collings Knight, Jr and his bride Marie LeBel took up winter residency in their newly acquired Lighthouse Club and began construction of a 21,000 sq.ft. Private residence. Its location on Currituck Sound and the Atlantic Flyway was perfect to satisfy the Knight's passion for waterfowl hunting. It was unlike any structure that local folks had ever seen or even imagined. c) OBX Center for Wildlife Education The Outer Banks Center for Wildlife Education invites you to explore coastal North Carolina's wildlife, natural history and cultural heritage. Learn more about the life history and management of some of NC’s most popular wildlife: White-Tailed Deer, NC Wood Ducks, Wild Turkey, and other Tar Heel Wildlife.

Stratigraphy of back-barrier coastal dunes, northern North Carolina and southern Virginia. Journal of Coastal Research, 20(4), 980±999. West Palm Beach (Florida). ISSN 0749-0208. Ground penetrating radar studies of four representative active back-barrier dunes, combined with radiocarbon and photon-stimulated-luminescence dating techniques and soils analysis, reveal phases of alternating dune activity and stabilization along the North Carolina±Virginia coast. Two smaller dunes represent only the current phase of dune activity. Two larger dunes preserve evidence of three phases of dune development (ca. 740, 1260 and 1810 AD) and intervening phases of soil development. Climate, particularly moisture conditions, played a part in the timing of dune activity and stabilization events. All three dune phases are associated with drier conditions whereas soils formation is associated with humid conditions.
