Northeast Creek Streamwatch

During Northeast Creek Streamwatch’s environmental education tabling at the Piedmont Wildlife Center Festival at Leigh Farms Park. This event launched the career of the Paw-Paws, the unofficial Northeast Creek chorus, now numbering three or four, with this song:

Down by the Creek,
where the scavenging raccoons,
back to their home
I dare not loom.
For if I did,
my mother would squeak,
“Have you ever seen the sediment?
What an impediment!!
Down by the Creek.

Down by the Creek
where the paw-paw blooms
lives a little zebra
who zigs, zags, and zooms.
Who knew a zebra
could waft and sail?
Not a mammal, silly
Zebra Swallowtail!
…

Lots of folks from all over the Triangle got to hear about Northeast Creek, and we got to hang out with other environmental and watershed groups.
