Newport Town Hall. we are holding a meeting to talk to people about
clearing the rest of the debris out of the Newport River. A great
deal of it was removed a year ago but of course more always
appears. The purpose of the meeting is to create a stakesholders
group made up of people who can get out there once in a while and
clear debris like Michael Banks deoes on the White Oak.
We want to demonstrate that the river can be kept clear and usable
in an environmentally friendly way and fairly inexpensviely so that
folks can ask the county for $1000 once in a while, not 100,000
every ten years. We have some money to pay a contractor to do the
big stuff. And our wonderful logger, the Paul Bunyan of the White
Oak, i.e. Big John will be there with Michael Banks to discuss
methodology.
Another of our purposes is to demonstrate to the county and DOT and
DWR that there is a concerned community dedicated to the Newport
River so maybe we can apply for a grant to build a safe landing on
Roberts Road or Nine Mile Road with a brochure describing the river
and the Wilderness Pocosin (how cool is that). Anyway, would love
it if you can help spread the word.
February 15th at 7:00 pm at the Newport Town Hall.This is located
off Highway at the stoplight by First Citizens bank and
Bojangles.Going 70 west turn right on Howard Blvd.70 east turn left
at light On Howard Blvd.Go about a mile town hall is on the left by
