A stream restoration project is under way on a section of creek above Carter Falls.
A stream restoration project near Carter Falls began in late March with aid received due to damage from two major hurricanes in 2018. Resource Institute, a nonprofit headquartered in Winston-Salem which helps restore America’s streams, rivers and wetlands, is providing services and assistance to Surry County to help with the restoration project on properties above Carter Falls.
Surry County received $3 million through the NC Department of Environmental Quality Division of Water Resources to address damages related to Hurricanes Michael and Florence in 2018, explained Woody Faulk with Watershed NOW. The project above Carter Falls is the largest project costing between $1 million and $1.5 million. Approximately 5,000 feet of stream bank is affected, on parcels owned by ten different landowners, Faulk said.
