Stony Run Walkable Watershed

With proper stewardship, the corridor can continue to support a healthy watershed, help manage stormwater runoff from upstream land use, and provide community benefits. With a planning grant from North Carolina Land and Water Fund, our community can focus on a section of Stony Run between US 301 and I-95 to:

Increase community understanding on flood reduction and benefits of enhanced ecological function to support future growth. Provide a healthy, trash free stream corridor with native vegetation that can also improve water quality. Support community goals of expanding public access to outdoor spaces and recreational trails. Increase community involvement in planning to reduce flooding issues and improve access.

We can transform a great environmental asset into a community gem by restoring natural systems to be low maintenance, improve water quality and reduce flooding while also providing nice views along a proposed perimeter trail system.
