The Watershed Association of the Tuckasegee River will hold its annual summer meeting at 6 p.m. on Monday, June 27, at Monteith Farmstead Park in Dillsboro.

Anyone interested in water quality is welcome. The meeting will include an overview of WATR initiatives and projects, including creek cleanups.

People can also check out the new Interpretive Buffer Trail being constructed with the help of the Oconaluftee Jobs Corps students. This trail demonstrates the critical benefits of a natural riparian buffer to the health of creeks and forests. 

Dinner will consist of hot dogs, potato salad, and cookies, plus drinks. It is free, though contributions are welcome.
