RESEARCH AND EDUCATIONAL RESOURCE Confining
the restoration project to With the completion of Phases One through Four, we have constructed a complex of boardwalks and informational signs. The Durham County Soil and Water Conservation District, with funding from the NC Clean Water Management Trust Fund's innovative stormwater projects initiative, has been a partner in this project. The signs, designed by Maura Nowalk and Randy Neighbarger with input from the entire DUWC community, tell about the SWAMP restoration project and Piedmont riparian ecology. The site is accessible as an educational resource by a wide array of public users from local K-12 students to the professional environmental restoration community. (A PDF document of the educational signs can be seen here.)
