A lot of great longleaf flatwoods on the Croatan and over at the MC base at Jacksonville. While I can't think of any outstanding large trees, there are some fascinating ecosystems in the pocosins in and around the forest, north and west of Wilmington. Also the Alligator River NFWR is some wild land also. The Live Oaks really come into their own around Wilmington. There is a big one at the Orton Plantation on the west side of the Cape Fear just south of Wilmington, some beautiful gardens at Orton also. And while not forest related take the ferry over to Ocracoke and then the boat trip over to the ghost village of Portsmith on the north end of the Core Banks.
