Elkin Creek Headwaters Preserve Master Plan
Nature Trails was selected to develop a trails and infrastructure master plan for the Elkin Creek Headwaters Preserve, a 450-acre site on the Blue Ridge Escarpment made up of three combined parcels. With conservation and recreation as twin priorities, the team analyzed topography, natural resources and land use, ran GIS analysis and field studies, and engaged the public at the town's Friday Night Live event and through a digital survey distributed to trail user groups and partner agencies. The final plan proposed 22 miles of natural surface hiking and mountain bike trails in six zones, with a phased implementation plan.
