View the recording of our live podcast and video interview with The Triangle Talk Show.


We’re excited to announce we’ll be doing a live podcast and video interview on The Triangle Talk Show today, June 9 at 7 p.m. ET. It will be an action-packed conversation! We'll be talking about:

  • The RDU Quarry Public Hearing on June 23 — this may be one of the last public comment opportunities to stop the quarry
  • The Sunset Clause that was removed from the current Wake Stone mining permit, which would've closed the existing Triangle Quarry in 2031
  • The Conservation Fund's offer to purchase the land to add new single-track biking and pedestrian trails
  • Environmental and wildlife impacts including air and water quality degradation
  • The RDU Fence that will cross Halley's Branch and run along the East Coast Greenway and Umstead State Park's multi-use trail
  • How this quarry is more than just a local Triangle issue, but one that affects all of North Carolina and sets a new precedent for how public lands are handled in the state

Speakers

  • Jean Spooner: Chair, The Umstead Coalition
  • Gil Johnson: Board member, The Umstead Coalition
  • David Anderson: Board member, Triangle Off-Road Cyclists (TORC)
  • Liz Adams: Former vice-chair, Capital Group Sierra Club and Research Associate at the UNC Institute for the Environment
