Residents of Somersby Park gathered to regularly to tidy up the public road both ways leading to the community. We care about keeping North Carolina Clean & Green as participants of the Adopt-A-Highway Program.
Spring in the Mountains
Preserving Beauty
Somersby Park residents represented half of the attendants during Laurel Park’s “Community Eco-Enviro Workshop” presented by Steve Pettis of the NC Extension Service. The community learned about sustainable gardening practices, implementing wildfire-resistant landscaping and helping erosion control. Future meetings are scheduled as we continue to enhance our natural beauty and continue to enjoy living in the Western North Carolina mountains.

We Bowled for Kids’ Sake

Organizers quoted “This group of people are steadfast supporters of Big Brothers Big Sisters and we appreciate them so much.” The total amount from our neighborhood reached $1,115 with funds coming in from many donors. The Somersby Park logo was predominantly visible on the thank you sponsors board located inside Tarheel Lanes.
