The UNRBA is a nonprofit coalition of local governments and others working together to protect drinking water supplies, aquatic ecosystems, and water-based recreation in the Falls Lake watershed. This fall, the UNRBA and the Sierra Club are planting trees along Lick and Little Lick Creeks and their tributaries to improve water quality. On Saturday, volunteers will learn how to properly plant trees and how our waterways filter pollution. Directions and carpool information will be provided info when you RSVP. Please contact Kim Novick (kan2@duke.edu, 919-434-4224)to sign up. Refreshments will be served at a mid-morning break.


The UNRBA is a nonprofit coalition of local governments and others working together to protect drinking water supplies, aquatic ecosystems, and water-based recreation in the Falls Lake watershed. Thanks to a grant from the Home Depot Association, the UNRBA and the Sierra Club are planting trees along Lick and Little Lick Creeks and their tributaries to improve water quality.

Trees like ash, sycamores, and oaks are not only beautiful, they can also provide shade and improve aquatic habitat. Stream banks in the Piedmont are forested in their natural state. These forested areas, or "buffers," protect the stream bank from erosion and prevent pollutants from entering the stream and getting into our drinking water supplies.

Please join us as we plant native trees from 9:00 am - 1:00 pm in East

Durham on Saturday, November 22 and Saturday, December 13. You'll learn how to properly plant trees and how our waterways filter pollution.

Sometimes the best recipes make too much for you to eat alone! So come out to a pot luck and bring your favorite dish!

We'll be able to eat together, talk together, make new friends, and enjoy a meal with old friends. 

The whole Graduate and Professional Duke Body is invited, and GPSC and  DUPA are hosting this event.

The meal begins at 6:30 but feel free to come early to chat and to bring your dish.

Many students have found that they want to volunteer more than once a month or that they are repeatedly unable to attend our worktrip dates due to scheduling conflicts. These students sometimes coordinate their "unofficial" worktrips through our graduate and professional student listserve - habitat4humanity@duke.edu. You can sign up for this listserve at http://lists.duke.edu/sympa/help.
