Tryon River Watershed Cooperative

Several areas of the Tryon river need to be excavated with hymac to reduce silt in the Tryon river. The excavation will take place at Abiteau Bridge. This is an important issue as the community is largely settled along the river. The TD Friends of the Environment Foundation's funds were used to cover the costs of the hymac. Community residence will help with the excavation. The project will increase the local communities awareness and appreciation of the natural environment.
