Lancaster Dixie Ballfield

The Hedrick Foundation recently assisted the Lancaster Dixie Baseball Team dress up their ball field with Piedmont Sand’s 70:30 Infield Mix hauled by Stevenson-Weir Inc.  The team is preparing to host their district baseball tournament this weekend and looks forward to having a smooth freshly groomed playing surface.  Hedrick takes pride in giving back to the community and wishes the Lancaster Dixie Baseball Club the best in their upcoming tournament.

Harmon Field Stream Restoration

Green River Quarry recently supplied the Town of Tryon on a stream restoration. The project was at Harmon Field along the North Pacolet River. There will be signage along the trail educating people about the benefits of projects like these.
The project is bounded by the boulders set along the paved path and the North Pacolet River. Part of the restoration of the North Pacolet River at Harmon Field include establishment of native vegetation along the river in most areas of the park. This project was made possible through grant funding and donations provided by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Quality-Water Resources Development Grant Program, The Town of Tryon, Quible & Associates, P.C. and Material Sales Company, Inc.

Buncombe County Fire Department Trench Refresher Training

Over a three-day period in May, Hedrick Industries had the opportunity to partner with the Buncombe County Fire Department in providing space for important training sessions. Approximately 75 Fire Fighters gathered at a Hedrick property adjacent to North Buncombe Quarry in Weaverville, North Carolina for a “trench refresher course”. The purpose of the course was to refresh Fire Fighters on procedures associated with collapsed trenches (most commonly, during installation of utility lines). Hedrick Industries is always proud to be a part of these important programs that help keep our communities and our first responders safe.
