Elk Creek Restoration
In February 2022 on a very cold and blustery day, several members from BRTU and Boy Scout Troop 722 from Winston-Salem planted a restoration project along Elk Creek. The efforts are showing a great deal of progress in reduction of siltation in the creek. Thank you to everyone who volunteered and helped out that day.
