Dick Everhart, Natural Resource Conservationist with the Natural Resource Conservation Service in Surry County, will be our speaker for the October 21 Meeting.  Dick has been working on stream protection and restoration along the Mitchell River and its tributaries for 20 years.  Dick will cover the history of restoration and protection on the Mitchell and will present to our chapter various planned restoration activities that we may consider for our involvement.  The Feb 08 issue of Wildlife in North Carolina had an excellent article on restoration activities on the Mitchell.
