Ocracoke's Springer's Point Preserve Dedication This Weekend

Everyone who has spent time on North Carolina's Outer Banks can attest to the beauty of our barrier islands. While many parts of the Outer Banks are falling victim to the growing pressure from encroaching real estate development, Springer's Point in Ocracoke is about to become a protected example of NC's natural beauty and cultural heritage. The NC Coastal Land Trust will dedicate the new Springer's Point nature preserve on Saturday May 20th and everyone is invited. Activities include kayaking, nature walks, and an afternoon reception at The Back Porch Restaurant (110 Back Road). Springer's Point is one of the few remaining examples of the Outer Banks' ancient maritime forests and more than just an example of their beauty. The area also has a storied history as Blackbeard's refuge. Details on the dedication ceremony and ongoing fundraising effortsare available from the NC Coastal Land Trust.
