City Of Raleigh: Growing A Meadow Near Crabtree Creek To Protect The Planet

Press release from the City of Raleigh:

Aug 30, 2021

Have you noticed longer grass along Crabtree Creek? There's a reason for that!

We're growing a meadow along the greenway trail on Glenwood Avenue and Crabtree Valley Avenue. This will help reduce water pollution and protect the floodplain.

What You'll See

During this process, we'll: 

• Keep the grass long; 
• Mow the lawn and overseed it every spring to maintain the meadow. 

The meadow should not interfere with activities on the greenway.
