TREE AND LANDSCAPE CONSERVATION AWARD
PRESENTED TO PROJECTS THAT SIGNIFICANTLY PRESERVE TREES AND OTHER NATURAL FEATURES OF THE CITY.
THIS YEAR’S AWARD GOES TO THE NCSU CENTENNIAL CAMPUS STREAM RECLAMATION.
PROJECT TEAM MEMBERS INCLUDE:
•OWNER: NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY
•DESIGNER: LITTLE & LITTLE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS, IN CONJUNCTION WITH P.B.C. & L. ARCHITECTURE
•CONTRACTOR: RIVERWORKS, IN CONJUNCTION WITH SKANSKA USA BUILDING
OVER THE PAST FOUR YEARS N.C. STATE UNIVERSITY HAS PLANNED, DESIGNED, PERMITTED AND RECLAIMED A KUDZU-CHOKED, RURAL BROOK LOCATED JUST WEST OF THE NEW HUNT LIBRARY.
OBTAINING FEDERAL AND STATE APPROVALS TOOK CONSIDERABLE EFFORT, MAINLY BECAUSE RAISING THE ELEVATION PROFILE OF A STREAM HAD NEVER BEEN PROPOSED IN NORTH CAROLINA. WITH APPROVALS IN HAND, THOUGH, PIPES WERE REMOVED, UNDER DRAINS INSTALLED AND STONE RIFFLES PLACED SO THAT WATER AGAIN FLOWED ALONG ITS ORIGINAL HORIZONTAL ALIGNMENT--BUT FIVE TO THIRTEEN FEET ABOVE THE PREVIOUS STREAM LEVEL.
A LINER WAS INSTALLED TO INSURE A GROUNDWATER REGIMEN SUPPORTIVE TO AQUATIC LIFE.
NATIVE TREES AND UNDERSTORY WERE PLANTED, PROVIDING SHADE, SOIL STABILITY, WILDLIFE HABITAT, AND PLANTING AREAS THAT STORE AND TREAT STORM WATER.
AS THE DEVELOPMENT FOR THE SURROUNDING ACREAGE EVOLVES, THE RECLAMATION WILL PROVIDE A NEW OASIS FOR THOSE WHO WILL WORK, PLAY AND LIVE ON CENTENNIAL CAMPUS--INCLUDING THE WILDLIFE.
JURY COMMENTS:
•“REMARKABLE AND UNIQUE RECLAMATION!”
•“THE RIGHT THING TO DO.”
•“AMAZING TRANSFORMATION WITH SUCH DEDICATION TO CONSERVATION.”

If I could bottle my hopes in store-bought scent
They'd be nutmeg peach, and they'd pay the rent
And I'd ride a horse, and I'd teach a course
On how I got to be a star-crossed pimp

I want to know
Does it show on my face?
I'm sick of this place
I want to move on, 'cause the feeling is gone
"Harmonic", Unwritten Law
this has been my life for the past year. I love it so much. my coach took this at the women's ACC tourney
