Friends of Hominy Creek Greenway

The Friends of Hominy Creek Greenway is a group of neighbors and other stakeholders who are creating a vision and working to create a special park for our community

Our Vision

• Create a community greenway park as a bike and pedestrian trail with foot paths in a natural environment

• Create a group of stakeholders to work with the Greenway Commissions and the City of Asheville in planning the greenway and park
• Build a community pavilion and picnic tables at the confluence of Buttermilk Creek and Hominy Creek so neighbors can gather for potlucks and other events
• Create community gardens and/or edible forest garden in wide areas at either end of the property

• Develop the property as a park while maintaining wildlife habitat

• Create a pervious trail that can be used by walkers and cyclists
• Create mulched foot trails through wooded areas after clearing
• Maintain a natural feel in the landscape with native plantings
• Develop environmental education opportunities for nearby schools

• Maintain wildlife habitat

• Preserve habitat for the deer, fox, coyotes, beavers, otters, turkey, raccoons, birds and other wildlife that are there now
• Gradually replace non-native plants with native, food producing plant
• Create habitat along property boundary – work with Shelburne property owners about creating a buffer

• Create partnerships
• Utilize the wealth of talent we have in our community
• Partner with organizations to help with different needs
