Help TRLC Build New Trails!

January 8, 2019

Help Tar River Land Conservancy (TRLC) finish 2½ miles of new hiking trails at the Ledge Creek Forest Conservation Area.  Trails start at a parking lot located at 3258 Old NC-75, Stem, NC 27581.  The new trails will complete the second phase of the trail network at the 397-acre Ledge Creek Forest Conservation Area.  The public can currently access three miles of trails at the parking area located at 3189 Brogden Road.

Hiking trails are being constructed using hand tools to minimize impacts to the environment. The trails lead through forest along Ledge Creek, an old farm pond, and old fields being converted to native wildflower meadows.

Volunteer jobs are available for everyone, even those who’ve never built hiking trails.  TRLC provides the tools and training to fit each volunteer’s abilities and experience level.
