A proposed trail project would help commemorate the culture and history of the Gullah Geechee people in Brunswick County.
The Gullah Geechee Heritage Trail proposal includes a greenway for walking and biking that would link Navassa with Southport and a blueway for canoes and kayaks along the Cape Fear River. It was proposed by the Brunswick County NAACP.
Brunswick County is home to many sites that have cultural and historic significance for the Gullah Geechee people, said Brayton Willis, chairman of the Brunswick NAACP s environmental and climate justice committee. Willis has led advocacy efforts for the trail.
Willis sees historic Gullah Geechee events and landmarks like Reaves Chapel in Navassa, Leland s rice festival and the locations of rice plantations along the Cape Fear River as important history.
