Durham's annual Creek Week ( www.durhamcreekweek.org) is coming up, March 16th - 23rd, with many different kinds of events for all ages throughout the County. There will be trash cleanups along Sandy, Third Fork, and Northeast creeks in the New Hope River basin and Ellerbe and Warren creeks, Eno River, and Lake Michie in the Neuse River basin. People will be able to see trout lilies, bloodroot, and other spring ephemeral wildflowers, amphibians, dragonflies, butterflies, beavers, and the importance of wetlands at hikes and presentations at Eno River State Park, Penny's Bend, the Museum of Life and Science, 17 Acre Wood, Sandy Creek Park, and elsewhere. Kids can participate in intersession camps such as the Schoolhouse of Wonder's camp that will create art from junk otherwise marring the Eno River. No dumping storm drain labels can be requested from Durham Stormwater Services at City Hall and March 21st dog owners can pledge not to leave waste out to pollute our waterways.
For those in the Winston-Salem area, Durham Creek Week is inspiring a similar celeberation in Forsyth County (watch this space: www.forsythcreekweek.org/index.html ).
