This is an update of a document developed in 2005, the French Broad River Basin Watershed Restoration Plan. The 2005 plan selected twenty-nine watersheds to be targeted for stream, wetland and riparian buffer restoration and protection and watershed planning efforts. This plan retains twenty-seven of these original watersheds, plus presents an additional two Targeted Local Watersheds (TLWs) for the French Broad River Basin. Two 2005 TLWs (East Fork North Toe River and French Broad River and North Toe River/Bear Creek/Grassy Creek) were gardens, Mitchell County not re-targeted in this document due to a re-evaluation of local priorities. This document draws information from the detailed document, French Broad River Basinwide Water Quality Plan—April 2005, which was written by the NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ).

  • Vegetation Differences in Neighboring Old-Growth
    ABSTRACT B. CLAY JACKSON. Vegetation Differences in Neighboring Old Growth and Second Growth Rich Coves in the Joyce Kilmer Wilderness Area: A Thirty-two-year Perspective. (Under the direction of H. Lee Allen). I surveyed vegetation in neighboring old growth and second growth rich coves in the Joyce Kilmer Wilderness Area, North Carolina. This data, combined with data from three previous studies, provide a 32 year perspective of stand structure, species frequencies of occurrence at the 1 m2 scale, and species richness at the 1 m2 scale. I sampled one 0.1 ha plot in each cove. I subdivided each plot into ten 10 m by 10 m modules and sampled percentage cover of all species present in each module, plus stem diameter for woody stems. Additionally, I sampled presence absence in a variety of subplots at scales of 0.01 m2, 0.1 m2, 1 m2, 10 m2, and 100 m2. A cohort of 30-40 cm diameter at breast height Liriodendron tulipifera trees dominated the second growth cove, while the old growth site had a broader mix of species with an inverse J-shape diameter distribution. In both rich coves, the frequencies of occurrence at 1 m2 appeared highly variable for individual species between sample years and distances of 200 m or less. The four studies provided species richness comparisons at the 1 m2 scale between the old growth and second growth (at ages 16, 35, 39, and 47 years). I concluded that the differences in second growth species richness between studies demonstrated rich cove forest succession. High species richness following disturbance reflected a surge of opportunistic species (age 16).

  • Authorize Dan River State Trail
    HOUSE BILL 360: Authorize Dan River State Trail. 2021-2022 General Assembly Committee: House Rules, Calendar, and Operations of the Date: April 22, 2021 House Introduced by: Reps. K. Hall, Carter Prepared by: Kellette Wade Analysis of: First Edition Staff Attorney OVERVIEW: House Bill 360 would authorize the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources (Department) to add the Dan River Trail to the State Parks System. CURRENT LAW: The State Parks Act provides that a trail may be added to the State Parks System by the Department upon authorization by an act of the General Assembly. All additions are required to be accompanied by adequate authorization and appropriations for land acquisition, development, and operations. BILL ANALYSIS: House Bill 360 would authorize the Department to add the Dan River Trail to the State Parks System as a State Trail. The use of any segment of the trail crossing property not owned by the Department's Division of Parks and Recreation would be governed by the laws, rules, and policies established by that segment's owner. This addition would be exempt from having to be accompanied by adequate appropriations for land acquisition, development, and operations. Lands needed to complete the trail would be acquired either by donations to the State or by using existing funds in the Land and Water Fund, the Parks and Recreation Trust Fund, the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund, and other available sources of funding. EFFECTIVE DATE: This act would be effective when it becomes law. BACKGROUND: The Dan River is important to North Carolina, flowing 214 miles through Virginia and North Carolina, crossing the state line 8 times.

  • 2017 High Adventure Program Guide
    Camp Daniel Boone Harrison High Adventure Programs 2017 High Adventure Program Guide A leader in high adventure programming since 1978, the Harrison High Adventure Program remains the premier council operated destination for older Scouts, Explorers, and Venture crews in the south-east. We offer activities such as backpacking, rafting, zip-lining, rock climbing, and living history. All treks leaving Camp Daniel Boone are accompanied by a trained staff member. Our guides assist in leading the group through the wilderness, providing necessary first aid, emergency care, and instructing participants in skills essential for navigation and survival in a remote wilderness setting. The patrol method is utilized on all expeditions and leadership development is our goal. Programs are filled on a first-come first-serve basis, so do not delay in making your choice for your high adventure trek. Participants must be at least 13 years of age by June 1, 2017. A completed official BSA Medical Form is required for all High Adventure Programs. Other medical forms will not be accepted. Scouts arriving without the required medical form will be responsible for acquiring a physical, locally, prior to being permitted to begin their trek. Treks will not wait to depart for Scouts without a physical. NOTE: The National Forest Service limits group size to 10 people in a wilderness area. For our backpacking treks this number will include a staff member and one other adult with the crew. (Example: eight Scouts, one adult leader and one trail guide or eight Scouts and two trail guides) Therefore group size is limited to nine participants inclusive of an adult or eight participants without an adult.

  • Development of a Watershed Action Plan for the Lockwood Folly River Brunswick County, NC
    Development of a Watershed Action Plan for the Lockwood Folly River Brunswick County, NC Lynnette Batt Dr. Norman Christensen, Advisor Todd Miller, Co-advisor May 2008 Masters project submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Environmental Management degree at the Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences of Duke University 2008 Preface Increasing urban and residential growth poses one of the greatest threats to water quality and aquatic resources on the North Carolina coast. Brunswick County recently ranked as the 14 th fastest growing county in the U.S., growing by over 200% between 1970 and 2000. The Lockwood Folly River watershed, located within Brunswick County, faces significant water quality issues associated with this growth and development. High levels of fecal coliform now result in 60% closure of the river to shellfish harvest, up from 18% in 1980. Future rapid increases in residential development will further degrade water quality if management is not improved. Average developed area by subwatershed is expected to increase from 6% in 2004 to 64% in 2030, leading to a projected 3.5-fold increase in fecal coliform loading (Stantec 2007). These figures suggest current regulations in the watershed are not enough to protect water quality, and a more comprehensive approach is needed. Watershed management planning at the local level has become an important tool for balancing growth and environmental concerns. In 2005 the North Carolina Coastal Federation and Brunswick County received a U.S. EPA grant to undertake growth management and watershed planning for the Lockwood Folly River. At the same time, North Carolina’s Ecosystem Enhancement Program worked to develop a Local Watershed Plan focused on stream and wetland restoration.
