Wake County leaders and staff are incredibly saddened by the sudden loss of Commissioner Dr. James West. His commitment to public service and dedication to our community have left an indelible mark on Wake County. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

Ask any local about fun things to do in Raleigh, and you'll invariably get "You should visit Umstead" as an answer. You really should visit though. #UmsteadPark. #YearOfTheTrail #RaleighNC #StateParks #GetOutside @UmstdCoalition @NCparks @WakeGOV https://t.co/11iivxC8gU

@RickDMartinez @lisasorg @NCPolicyWatch @NCDEQ @selc_org The Wake County Register of Deeds show ownership to the local governments, Judge Shirley agreed. State law agrees. RDUAA in only the manager, not the owner.

[Umstead Coalition @UmstdCoalition]

@RickDMartinez @lisasorg @NCPolicyWatch @NCDEQ @selc_org RDUAA is the manager. The owners are us, the Cities of Raleigh and Durham and the Counties of Wake and Durham.

Calling all volunteers! We're thrilled with the number of registrants to Walk/Run/Bike for Umstead on 4/23, but that also means we need more volunteers. All volunteers will get a discount on this year's event t-shirt. Sign up at https://t.co/XTUNJ0IHkm #umsteadstatepark

We hope you can join us tomorrow to celebrate the RDU Quarry mining permit denial! Come meet fellow supporters who helped sustain the 6-year effort that led to this huge success. Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen! RSVP: https://t.co/04JfsTdzt8 #StopRDUQuarry

[Sierra Club Capital Group @SierraNCCapital]

@UmstdCoalition led a hike yesterday at the Umstead State Park to continue teaching people about the ongoing issue with Wake Stone's quarry. Except the mood is definitely different when the mining permit was denied. Congrats, Umstead advocates. Y'all deserved a break and 3 cheers

[SierraClubNC @SierraClubNC]

RDU #Quarry next to Umstead State Park has been denied an expansion permit! Great news for nature-lovers. Congrats to @UmstdCoalition @SierraNCCapital & others who fought this threat to our park.
