Led by Dr Bob Peet. Meet at Johnston Mill Preserve, Mt Sinai Rd entrance and parking lot (note change from Turkey Farm Rd entrance).  Please join us.

Have you seen the sign on the way up Whitfield Rd from Erwin Rd?  Now we have the notoriety and we have to do something about it.  We also have other events as listed here.

April 15, Weds. at 7 pm: In person Board meeting at the NHIA building (curious NHIA members are welcome to attend).

April 18, Sat. at 10 am: Wildflower hike with Dr. Bob Peet.  Meet at the Turkey Farm Rd parking area for Johnston Mill Preserve.

May 2, Sat. at 9 am:  Whitfield Rd cleanup.  Meet at NHIA building.  Trash bags and vests provided.  We will finish by 11 am and we will repeat this event every few months.

May 16, Sat at 9 am:  Meet at NHIA building for work day to build walkable path from upper parking area to paved area in front of Fire Station.

Over 20 people bundled up and participated in the first NHIA event of the year. We are working on a schedule for other events in 2026, some brand new. Stay tuned.  Please renew your membership if you haven’t done it in a while.

Did you wonder what all that noise was down on New Hope Creek for the past several months?  The old concrete bridge was being replaced and the new bridge was dedicated (see photo above) and opened to the public earlier this month.  It’s a marvel and you need to see it and hear how it all happened.

Please join us for the first NHIA event in 2026.  Meet at Duke Forest Gate 25 (Concrete Bridge Rd on some maps) on Whitfield Rd right across from Wisteria Dr.

The hike will be from the gate and out and back is a little over a mile with some hills.  We’ll get started at 10 am and I won’t push the pace!  We should be back at the gate around 11:30.  Let’s start the new year off right.  Hope to see you there.  

Ice cream social and fire station open house
