Haw River Headwaters ~ 4 acres, Forsyth County
Kris and Mary Robin Witherspoon.  Bargain Sale of Land.

In partnership with the Haw River Assembly, PLC acquired a small property containing two springs that represent the headwaters of the Haw River at the end of 1999.  As a major river in Guilford, Rockingham, Alamance, and Chatham Counties, the Haw River provides recreational opportunities and drinking water for communities along its banks, including the Triangle region.  Protecting a river’s headwaters is vital to ensuring that a river’s water quality will be safeguarded for all of the communities it serves. 

Project funding provided by the NC Clean Water Management Trust Fund.
