Friends of Panthertown was recently awarded an Environmental Enhancement Grant by the North Carolina Department of Justice for a remediation and restoration project.
The Panthertown group will work in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service and the Watershed Association of the Tuckasegee River on the project, whose purpose is to remediate erosion in Panthertown Valley, protect the watershed and trail system, and restore Panthertown’s natural resources.
The public is invited to comment on the project. Anyone interested can visit cara.fs2c.usda.gov.
