Jun 14 Caraway Creek Preserve Trailbuilding

 



                         


Uwharrie Trailblazers had the leaf blowers, chain saws, weedwhackers and lots of hand tools going at it this morning. Within 2 hours there was a trail. Thanks to Piedmont Land Conservancy for the land and the planning, Randolph County is going to have a great trail system on a beautiful piece of property with early American and Native American heritage sites. 

Not to mention a huge Short Leaf Pine

It is solidly built



The property has a beautifully constructed check dam. This dam was designed to control sedimentation downstream and redirect water flow into the creek bed during flooding.
