Virginia Ross discovered the Outer Banks while vacationing in 1951, and moved to the area with her husband and children in 1975 from Washington D.C. She belonged to many conservation groups and conducted her own ecological study of the Outer Banks. Through these studies, she targeted problem areas and did what she could to improve situations. Her vast horticultural knowledge enabled her to act as a consultant to the book  Wildflowers of the Outer Banks. Mrs. Ross spent many hours identifying and classifying Aycock Brown photographs for David Stick; her system is still in place at the Outer Banks History Center.
