🌳FEATURE FRIDAY: College Branch Stream Restoration🌳On Feature Fridays, we feature PCC’s conservation projects.

Today, we highlight one of PCC’s stream restoration projects in Guilford County, NC. The Downtown Greenway Phase 4 transformed an urban waterway by restoring its natural functions and creating a community asset. The project helped restore the ecosystem by regrading banks, adding in-stream structures, and planting native plants to restore natural flow and stabilize the shoreline. Stream flow was improved by removing debris and reinforcing outfalls to restore the stream's natural flow patterns. Interpretive signs and workshops with local schools will turn the greenway into an outdoor classroom, promoting community and education. A five-year monitoring program and continuous maintenance by the City and Action Greensboro ensures the greenway's long-term health and community access. - - - #GuilfordCounty #NorthCarolina #Piedmont #Conservation #NonProfit
