Friends of Bolin Creek has voted to develop its own transportation plan to protect the Bolin Creek watershed as part of the Bolin Creek Conservation Study currently underway. The study, now to include a nonmotorized transportation plan for community connectivity, will be completed by fall 2011.
While the study is conducted, FOBC will engage the community in projects, such as its recent demonstration rain garden at McDougle Middle School. This past October, eighth-grade science students learned how a rain garden can simulate the natural conditions of a forest, planted the garden and installed a cistern, all with the help of an EPA grant administered by the Town of Carrboro.
