Theodore Roosevelt State Natural Area, Protected natural area in Carteret County, United States
The Theodore Roosevelt State Natural Area encompasses 265 acres of maritime forest on Bogue Banks, bordered by Bogue Sound and NC 58.
Following Alice Green Hoffman's land ownership in 1917, her niece Eleanor Butler Alexander-Roosevelt inherited the property, which became a state natural area in 1971.
The North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores operates educational programs about local wildlife and conducts ecological research within the protected area.
Visitors can access two designated nature trails within the preserve, while the remaining sections stay closed to protect the fragile ecosystem.
The maritime forest contains extensive populations of live oak and loblolly pine trees, providing essential habitats for snowy egrets and ospreys.
