The Beaverdam Mitigation Bank is located in Granville County, North Carolina, within the Neuse River Basin. It sits about four miles upstream of Beaverdam Lake, a backwater of Falls Lake, the primary drinking water reservoir for the City of Raleigh. What happens on this land matters downstream.
The bank will cover a conservation easement of approximately 72 acres, permanently protected. Within that area, the project plan includes restoring more than 5,400 feet of stream, preserving over 8,500 additional feet, and improving more than 22 acres of riparian wetlands. A 150-foot protection buffer will extend from all restored stream features throughout the property.
The goal is to reestablish a stable, functioning stream-wetland system that does what a healthy watershed is supposed to do: store water, slow it down, filter it, and release it clean. Every foot of stream we restore here is a direct investment in the water quality that Raleigh families depend on.
