In 1987, I wrote a seven-part investigative series about pollution in North Carolina’s Haw River. Nearly four decades later, the river is still struggling — though some progress has been made. Today on my Substack, I’m revisiting that reporting. #environmentaljournalism #hawriver #NCwater

Our Celebration of the Haw River in Saxapahaw got off to a gorgeous start this morning with a Wildflower Hike lead by Brianna Haferman with the Piedmont Land Conservancy. Even found a few trout lilies! Next up: a 4-mile hike on the Mountains-to-Sea trail at 1 pm. #hometownstrong #ncdncr #hawriver
Common water snake.
Saw this cold fellow on a riverside hike today. He didn’t even both moving as I took his pic and walked on by. #snake #HawRiver
