This book provides a comprehensive management plan for Jockey's Ridge State Park. It assesses the significance of the park's natural and cultural resources, identifies threats to these resources, and proposes appropriate responses to protect them. The plan outlines interpretive themes and proposes locations for informational and interpretive facilities. It also analyzes park and recreation demands and trends in the park's service area. The author emphasizes the importance of Jockey's Ridge as the tallest active dune along the Atlantic coast of the United States. The dune is an excellent example of a medano, a large isolated hill of sand, asymmetrical in profile and lacking vegetation. The park functions to protect the dynamic process that has preserved this migrating dune system. The book discusses the park's diverse habitats, including dune grass, maritime shrub, maritime evergreen forest, and brackish marsh. It also highlights the park's significance as a habitat for native plants and animals. The author concludes by emphasizing the importance of Jockey's Ridge State Park as a resource for environmental education and the promotion of stewardship of the state's natural heritage.
