SUMMARY:Creek Crawl at Bethania's Black Walnut Bottom
DESCRIPTION:NC Sierra Club Foothills Group will host a fun and informative creek crawl along Bethania’s Black Walnut Bottom Trail\, where creeks feed into Muddy Creek. We will be joined by Danica Heflin of PTRC’s Stormwater SMART.We will meet at the picnic tables beside the Bethania visitor center for an overview of the creeks of Wachovia. We will then hike the Black Walnut Bottom Trail and see what makes a healthy creek\, explore the area bordering the creek\, and consider why the Moravians made their second settlement here.\n \nAlong the hike\, we will search a creek for macro-invertebrates whose presence will tell us about the water quality. In water quality\, “buggy is better.” Anyone wishing to join in this activity must have boots or water footwear and expect wet and muddy conditions. Towels and spare socks and shoes are recommended. The trail is 1.4 miles in length and rated easy by the Foothills Group.\nMore details of the area can be found at http://townofbethania.org/trails/black-walnut-bottom-trail/. Register by sending an email to Henry Fansler at henryfansler@windstream.net or 336-473-0283. Note that the Sierra Club requires all outing participants to sign a standard waiver. Participants under 18 must be with a parent or guardian.\nMeet in the parking lot for the Bethania Visitors Center\, 5393 Ham Horton Lane (near the intersection of Bethania Road and Main Street). MAP\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Moonlight Paddle with YRK at Salem Lake
DESCRIPTION:Join the Yadkin Riverkeeper staff at Salem Lake from 5pm to 9pm for a little paddling in the moonlight. Weather permitting\, the moon will rise at 4:30p and the sun will set at 7:40p. While the moon won’t be full\, it will have 90% luminance to make paddling in the evening a beautifully memorable experience. Twilight is an excellent time to catch nature’s nightshift start to stir. Gliding from the seat of a canoe or kayak gives you a vantage point that is more open than woods. Paddlers are encouraged to bring their own boats. Yadkin Riverkeeper will have a limited number of boats if you do not have your own. **Limited spots left! At this time\, our boats have all been spoken for. Paddlers signing up must bring their own boats. \n  \nPlease register here! https://www.yadkinriverkeeper.org/events/2026/3/29/creek-week-moonlight-paddle
