Tributary of Richland Creek



Beneath the canopy of the maples, birches, and pines behind the North Carolina State University Equine Unit, a tributary of Richland Creek whispers as it collects water from an upstream pond amidst the rolling hills The tributary sustains minnows, crayfish other small fish as well as other wildlife. Neighborhood children have fun exploring the creek and the life in it. It is important that this northern boundary of the Richland Natural Area not only be protected for its importance in this forest ecosystem, but also for a future greenway that may one day be along side this gently rolling stream.
