I got a chance to go down and see what N.C. State calls, “The Rocky Branch.” The particular area that looked at was at the intersection of Dan Allen Dr. and Sullivan Dr. The Rocky Branch is full of rocks and erosion that goes right through central campus of N.C. State, and is over a mile long. The Rocky Branch is currently undergoing restoration trying to restore the erosion and disposition of land in the area. When I was down there I noticed the branch is very polluted and not taken good care of, because there is trash, dead trees and plants, and over crowding of boulders and rocks all along the branch. N.C. State is taking measures on these issues but they can not be fixed in a short period of time. I think that Rocky Branch is a neat, unique addition to our campus that makes our campus much more natural and environmentally friendly. I feel that every student and faculty staff needs to see the branch in order to get a sense of what needs to be done to it and what it would look like if it is taken better care of.
