The Program operated by The Conservation Fund invites land trusts, local governments, and other organizations to submit proposals for small greenway project grants. Funded projects typically advance one or more of the following Program goals: 

You can't turn your back on the BOCC for a second. The Rogers/Eubanks community is back in the mix for the Transfer Station. As I have said previously the fight for environmental justice is far from over and vigilance is required. What is Foy thinking? And Jacobs was the original Sassaman buddy so Jacob's position is no surprise.

My heart goes out Reverend Campbell and Neloa Jones. Just as it appears that they are approaching the top of the mountain, voila, there is another vertical cliff to scale.

So I'm exploring this past weekend.  I take Jones Ferry Rd. through Carrboro and over University Lake and then I turn right onto Old Greensboro Rd.  I go a few miles and I make a right onto Neville Rd.  I had never been out there before.  I was just exploring.  I saw a left with a street sign so I decided to take it.  I turned left from Neville Rd. onto Farmstead Dr.

After I turn onto Farmstead Dr., perhaps 100-150 feet ahead I see signs that say "Keep Out" and "No Trespassing."  There is nothing else on the road before those signs.  I guess that means it's a town road for 100-150 feet and then it magically becomes someones driveway.

 I had two choices at that point.  One was to go onto this persons property and turn around and I figured I shouldn't do that since there was not one but two signs warning me to stay away.  My other choice was to back out onto Neville Rd.  The length of visibility was pretty good because the road was straight but at the same time the fact that the road was straight meant that other cars would be barrelling ass on it.
