Exhibit 02: Fisher River

The Fisher River flows from the Blue Ridge Mountains in southeastern Grayson County, Virginia, through Surry County to the Yadkin River. The County currently manages four existing public fishing areas along the river that provide canoe and bank access.

TOPOGRAPHY

The topography of the study area is characterized by the rolling hills of the northwestern North Carolina Piedmont found throughout Surry, Wilkes, and Yadkin Counties. Trail type and design will transition with the varying terrain. Where possible, the trail should provide for grades under five percent. Natural surface trails can vary up to a 10 percent grade. Proposed trail alignments may require a wider trail corridor to ensure that a more gradual trail grade can be achieved by following the terrain or through switchbacks.

RARE FLORA & FAUNA

The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program and North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) provide data identifying each states’ most sensitive environmental areas. Rare flora and fauna species can also exist outside of these designated areas, which can alter final trail alignments prior to construction. As of April, 2018, fourteen (14) rare species were identified within this study area by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program:

1. Alasmidonta varicosa (Brook Floater) 2. Celastrus scandens (American Bittersweet) 3. Corallorhiza wisteriana (Spring Coral-root) 4. Erynnis martialis (Mottled Duskywing) 5. Falco peregrinus anatum (American Peregrine Falcon) 6. Fothergilla major (Large Witch-alder) 7. Hackelia virginiana (Virginia Stickseed) 8. Helianthus schweinitzii (Schweinitz’s Sunflower) 9. Heuchera pubescens (Downy Alumroot) 10. Hexalectris spicata (Crested Coralroot) 11. Lysimachia tonsa (Southern Loosestrife) 12. Melanoplus mirus (Weldon Short-wing Grasshopper) 13. Quercus ilicifolia (Bear Oak) 14. Stenelmis gammoni (Gammon’s Stenelmis Riffle Beetle)
