Reforestation Work Begun At City Lake
City Lake on Deep River near old Jamestown begins a beautification and erosion control project led by Mayor Grayson. Convict labor under Captain Wimberly and Dr. McAnally plants 1,200 American black walnut seedlings donated by Greensborough Mayor Lindley, with state pine and poplar seedings to follow. The effort, funded by donations and convict labor, aims to create a scenic lake area while protecting the basin from silt buildup. City and state officials expect continued planting, future shrubbery, and a possible road through the area to enhance access and vistas.
