2026 Creek Week A Huge Success
 Knightdale's Stormwater team, in conjunction with the NC Clean Water Education Partnership (CWEP), hosted the 2026 Regional Creek Week event in town. The week was full of events that focused on preserving the environment and celebrating the streams and rivers that sustain and connect us.
Residents enjoyed a StoryWalk at the Knightdale Environmental Park, a volunteer litter sweep, a shred-a-thon, and a milkweed seed giveaway. Mayor Day also led a tree planting event in honor of Arbor Day, and in honor of Knightdale receiving a TreeCity USA designation for the 25th year in a row!
As sustainability is a key pillar in Knightdale's Strategic Plan, we are honored to host Creek Week every year, and we can't wait to do it again next year. Thanks to everyone who participated in this year's event and made it the success it was!
