| Urban Walk with Walk Wise, Drive Smart |
| Thursday, April 3, 2008 |
On the first Thursday of every month, a guided walk will be held in various designated neighborhoods around Hendersonville. Location and time depends on the weather, guest guides, and the whim of our walkers. To find out where we'll be, contact the local project manager Sam Lovelace at 864.457.6166, or www.walk-wise.org. Walks are open to everyone. We invite you to come enjoy some healthy exercise, beautiful neighborhoods, and give us your input on future improvements to walking routes in the Hendersonville area. Each walk is gentle, between 1 and 2 miles, and usually takes 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Walks are cancelled in the event of severe weather.

ECO's Water Quality Committee is reminding residents to do a "Spring Clean Up" of local waterways by picking up litter and debris in and around streams, lakes, and wet- lands during April. ECO's official Adopt-A-Stream teams, too, are invited to set aside a time that month to get out and pick up litter along their adopted streams. Residents who would like to sign up for year-round Adopt-A-Stream status are asked to contact the ECO office to receive the paperwork to become an official Adopt-A-Stream team. ECO provides trash bags to teams, can arrange for signage, and arranges for free disposal of Adopt-A-Stream trash at the landfill. Our phone number is 692-0385 and more information is available on our web site at www.eco-wnc.org. ECO is partnering with Riverlink, which has revitalized its Adopt-A-Stream program. Folks in Henderson, Transylvania, Rutherford, and Polk Counties should contact ECO about Adopt-A-Stream projects. Those in Buncombe, Madison, and Haywood Counties should contact Riverlink's Riverkeeper at 252-8474 or visit www.riverlink.org. |
