On Friday, we celebrated the opening of the George Pauly Nature Trail at Northeast District Park with a special ribbon cutting ceremony honoring the life and legacy of longtime conservation advocate George Pauly. 💚
The new 0.6-mile trail winds through forest and wildflower meadow and was made possible through a donation from the Haw River Assembly in recognition of George’s dedication to protecting Chatham County’s natural environment.
George’s passion for conservation, sustainability, and native plants continues to inspire our community for generations to come. 🌼🌳

The public is invited to attend a ribbon cutting ceremony celebrating the opening of the George Pauly Nature Trail at Chatham County’s Northeast District Park. The new trail honors the life and legacy of a longtime resident and dedicated conservation advocate.
The George Pauly Nature Trail is a 0.6-mile natural surface trail that winds through upland successional forest and an evolving wildflower meadow. The project was made possible by a donation from the Haw River Assembly in recognition of George Pauly’s contributions to conservation and environmental stewardship in Chatham County.

WHERE: Northeast District Park, 5408 Big Woods Rd, Chapel Hill, NC 27517

George Pauly lived near Jordan Lake, adjacent to Northeast District Park, and played an instrumental role in the park’s creation while serving on the Chatham County Recreation Advisory Committee. He also served on the Board of Directors of the Haw River Assembly and led its Highway 64 Bridge River Watch monitoring team. A passionate advocate for sustainability, biodiversity, and native plants, George dedicated his life to protecting the natural environment. He passed away in 2021.
All are welcome to attend and celebrate the opening of this new community trail.
