Abstract:

In the spring of 2007, volunteers working on cleaning up the first fifty miles of the Neuse River pulled 22,000 pounds of trash from its waters, including fifty-six tires, two toilets and a boat trailer. Sorg discusses how surging growth, projected to reach over one million people alone in Wake County in the next twenty years, and development will threaten the river.
