Why do we need this project? It could be a sentence or two. What is Strayhorn Branch? A sentence or two with a link to Pearl Mill webpage (no need for historical maps) What is the project? We do want to link to the map here, I believe, and this is where we could focus the most time. Project Partners –Maybe we can use a sentence each and link to their webpages (and the webpage of the Ellerbe Creek Watershed Management Plan) |

Plan Your Visit
Preserve trail maps viewable here
Opening Hours: Dawn to dusk year-round.
Directions & Parking: The South Ellerbe Creek Trail runs right through the preserve. This paved greenway runs right through the preserve, which means that the preserve is best accessed on foot or bike via the trail. If you choose to drive, park near where the trail crosses Green Street, on the 700 block. You will see the Pearl Mill Preserve kiosk on the north side of Green Street. Walking south from the kiosk, notice the pollinator garden on the right side of the path. Continue south a quarter mile to the future location of the South Ellerbe Stormwater Project and another mile to Durham’s city center.
