🌿 Restoring Haskett Creek in North Asheboro Park 🌿

Check out some updates during construction from a current project in Randolph County at North Asheboro Park! The Haskett Creek Stream Restoration Project is working to improve the health and stability of Haskett Creek and an unnamed tributary flowing through North Asheboro Park in Asheboro, NC, through funds secured through NC Land and Water Fund.

The project will enhance and stabilize more than 1,200 linear feet of stream.

Haskett Creek is an impaired waterbody impacted by surrounding urbanization, excessive stormwater flows, streambank erosion, and a lack of streamside buffers. These challenges have contributed to poor benthic communities and declining stream health.

Through stream restoration and stabilization, this project will help reduce erosion, improve water quality, and create a healthier watershed for the Asheboro community. 💧🌱

Piedmont Conservation Council is proud to support projects like this that invest in healthier waterways and more resilient communities. Big shoutout to our partners at and Piedmont Triad Regional Council!

📣CALLING ALL INTERESTED IN NORTH CAROLINA’S WATER QUALITY AND STREAM HEALTH📣

NC Sea Grant and NC State University's Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering is asking stormwater program staff, watershed organizations, water managers, and others interested in North Carolina's water quality and stream health to complete a brief survey about the importance of stormwater-derived litter in our waterways and the current efforts, challenges, and needs of stormwater programs in addressing this issue. Your feedback will help guide the development of a publicly available toolkit of resources and best practices to support communities and stormwater programs across North Carolina.

The Piedmont region of North Carolina is home to a diverse range of aquatic wildlife. The aquatic species pictured are at-risk due to habitat destruction from natural and human causes. It is important to conserve and protect these species to maintain biodiversity and keep our ecosystem in balance. PCC participates in projects such as dam removals, stream restoration, and riparian buffer plantings to restore habitat for all wildlife that lives in these ecosystems.
