The Anderson County Timmerman Access Project in Pelzer is among fifteen organizations in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia receiving a portion of $1 million in grants from the Water Resources Fund to improve local water quality.
The Timmerman Access Project on the Saluda River will receive $99,509 to provide a handicapped-accessible kayak launch and shoreline access route at the Timmerman Access along the Saluda River Blue Trail.
The fund is a $10 million, multi-year commitment from Duke Energy to help local nonprofits continue to protect and improve the environment, including the waterways our communities appreciate and use year round across the Carolinas and neighboring states.
“Safeguarding clean water and connecting people with nature are cornerstones of our mission,” said Katherine Baer, director of conservation for Triangle Land Conservancy. “Thanks to the generous support of the Duke Energy Water Resources Fund, we will further protect the Stony Creek watershed and prepare Brumley Forest Nature Preserve for its opening to the public in 2016.”
