Pine Island promises to be a unique experience of the wildness of Currituck Sound and its unparalleled marshes, maritime forests, birds, and other wildlife.
Located at the intersection of numerous bird migration tributaries, Pine Island provides a green sanctuary for vast numbers of migrating songbirds and waterfowl that pass through the area in the spring and fall looking for a safe haven to rest and refuel.
After more than 100 years in private ownership, the Sanctuary in Corolla will be opened to the community so that everyone can enjoy and explore this singular reminder of the historic Outer Banks.
Birdlife plays a key role in the history of Pine Island and the entire Currituck Sound region.
The birds and wildlife have been here for centuries and now ambitious planning at the Sanctuary and Audubon Center in Corolla will bring researchers from across the country to unlock its conservation secrets.
