To celebrate Earth Day, citizens and officials gathered in Raleigh for the dedication of Phase II of the Rocky Branch Stream Restoration and Greenway project. The creek runs more than a mile through the heart of North Carolina State University. Once deemed the state's most polluted urban stream by the N.C. Division of Water Quality, the waterway is now a national model of natural channel design. "The restoration of Rocky Branch not only improves the local environment, but also demonstrates how urban streams can be enhanced in cities around the country," says Barbara Doll, water quality specialist for North Carolina Sea Grant and head of the Rocky Branch project. Louisa Koch, education director for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, praises Doll's leadership. "She saw a sick stream," Koch says. "And she is bringing the patient back to health." Learn more about Rocky Branch at www.ncseagrant.org. Click on "Stream Restoration" in the Water Quality section.
