Stormwater Smart Stormwater Outreach and Education in the Piedmont Triad Unlike pollution discharging directly from factories, nonpoint source pollution comes from everywhere.

Nonpoint source pollution or stormwater runoff is the number one source of impaired waters in our region. Unknowingly, many citizens pollute our watesr by over-fertilizing their yards, not picking up pet waste, washing cars in the street, and other behaviors. The goal of Stormwater SMART is to provide citizens with the resources they need to reduce their impact while still doing the things they love!

Join us this Saturday night for a guided twilight tour of the wild & beautiful Bynum Lake section of the Haw River! This is a longer and slightly more challenging paddle tour than our typical sunset paddles on Saxapahaw Lake, but the reward is absolutely incredible! Our guides will lead you two miles up the river from the Bynum dam to a rock outcropping by a roaring rapid, where we'll watch the sunset paint the sky before paddling back in the moonlit dusk. Herons, osprey, bald eagles, wild turkeys, and even whippoorwills have all been spotted on this paddle, and as you paddle away from the dam it feels almost like being transported deep into the Appalachian wilderness.
