NC Arboretum EntranceSoil scientists, landscape architects, and engineers team to create a marvelous new entrance parkway for the North Carolina Arboretum, a 450-acre forest, gardens, and research facilities near Asheville, North Carolina.  The design team created an award winning solution that significantly minimized land disturbance to Bent Creek trout waters and the adjacent National Forest.  The solution involved the design of a suspended causeway over the trout waters and bending around rock cliffs as it winds its way up the mountain to the arboretum.  The solution protected the trout waters, protected species in the floodplain, and sensitive rock cliffs.
