 Nags
Head Woods Ecological Preserve is
considered one of the best remaining
examples of a mid-Atlantic maritime forest
with deciduous hardwoods. This pine and
hardwood forest harbors trees up to 500
years old. The preserve is an
important nesting area for more than 50
species of birds. An extensive marsh
system bordering Roanoke Sound on the
western side of the preserve supports a
wealth of wildlife including river otter,
egrets, herons, and many species of
migratory waterfowl.
