Woody Webster (back to camera), manager of the Buckridge Reserve, recently explained property operations to (from left) Braxton Davis, Director of NC Coastal Management; Michael Regan, Secretary of the NC Department of Environmental Quality; and David Clegg, Tyrrell County Manager. At 29,335 acres, Buckridge is the largest single property in the Coastal Reserve and its only inland site. It surrounds Gum Neck and extends southward of Kilkenny in southern Tyrrell County. It contains about 4,000 acres of Atlantic white cedar, the most extensive contiguous example of this forest type in North Carolina. Hunting is allowed seasonally.
