Full steam ahead in Charleston! Heavy rain can bring down big trees. We are happy to report the trails are clear from fallen trees in Wallace Hartman Nature Preserve! We also dug water bars across the trail to keep trails dryer. (Watch your step!)

One year ago today, my Great American Outdoors Act was signed into law! This historic, bipartisan achievement secures the future of America’s #PublicLands legacy and ensures that our treasured lands are here to enjoy for generations to come.

Yellow Creek's water levels are low this summer. We plan to decommision this old roadbed currently adding loads of silt to the stream. Thank you to Appalachian Stewardship Foundation for support to improve the drinking water for residents of Davis!
