RiverLink offers public presentations about Wilma Dykeman greenway
Free presentations to be held Dec. 4 & 11
*RIVERLINK INVITES THE PUBLIC to learn about the proposed Wilma Dykeman RiverWay along the French Broad River | Writes RiverLink executive director Karen Cragnolin: "Please join us at RiverLink’s Warehouse Studios, 170 Lyman Street for a presentation about the Wilma Dykeman RiverWay. All presentations will start promptly at 3 p.m. The Wilma Dykeman RiverWay is a 17-mile greenway with separate bike and walking trails anchored at the North Carolina Arboretum to the south, the Blue Ridge Parkway headquarters to the east and the Botanical Garden to the North. Over 4 miles of greenway in the Wilma Dykeman RiverWay are already in place and in use, with more links planned. Wilma Dykeman wrote the book 'The French Broad' in 1955, in which she described the river as defining the region as an economic and environmental engine. Somehow this wonderful Asheville woman understood sustainable development. She made us understand that for western North Carolina the environment is the economy. So it only seemed fitting to name this wonderful RiverWay after her." | For directions, visit RiverLink.org or Click Here>
