In our November director’s message, Executive Director Ryan Fehrman discusses the history and protection of Black Meadow Ridge.

🌿 Earlier this year, Ryan joined Chris, Indigo, and ERA’s former Land Conservation Manager Reema Garabadu to explore the Association’s newest acquisition: Black Meadow Ridge. This property has quite the history, the details of which have been explored by Jenny Nygard through an article shared in the November edition of our eNews. Her words can also be found linked through Ryan's message. Additionally, the ERA will be in conversation with the “Friends of Geer Cemetery” regarding next steps related to the site's proximity to the historic Holman Cemetery. It is our hope to transfer BMR to the City of Durham to expand West Point on the Eno as soon as the City is able to accept the gift. We are so grateful for our generous volunteers, members, and donors for giving us the capacity to do great things. 💚 Read the full Director's Message in the link in our bio! 📸 Erik Nygard [Image Description: Hikers on the Buffalo trail] #enoriver #supportconservation #stewardship #History
