🌳FEATURE FRIDAY: Little Lick Creek Restoration🌳On Feature Fridays, we feature PCC’s conservation projects.

Today, we highlight one of PCC’s stream restoration projects in Durham, NC. Grove Park, a lake and golf course community in eastern Durham, is affected by upstream development, channel straightening, and timbering, which have caused significant sedimentation in the tributaries. This project aims to restore 6,000 linear feet of stream along unnamed tributaries to Little Lick Creek in Durham, within the Falls Lake and Neuse River Basins. The project, located in the Grove Park community, will create a stable, natural system with improved aquatic habitat and reduce sediment loading to the impaired Little Lick Creek and Falls Lake. Riparian buffers will be vegetated and protected through a conservation easement. - - - #DurhamNC #NorthCarolina #Piedmont #Conservation #NonProfit
