The Duckett Top Lookout Tower was recently commemorated on-site for its inclusion into the FFLA's National Historic Lookout Register (NHLR). Pictured above, NC FFLA chapter member Wes Greene presents the NHLR certificate to NCFS County Ranger Wesley Bailey. The certificate now hangs inside the cab of the lookout.
Thanks to Wes, work to repair and re-paint Duckett Top is now underway. Mr. Greene has also become the official FFLA steward of the Duckett Top lookout tower, agreeing to look over its upkeep, in coordination with the NCFS, for years to come.
I failed to announce that the NCFS replaced Duckett Top's roof in 2008, demonstrating their commitment to the preservation of the lookout tower. Duckett Top is one of western NC's leading examples of synergistic partnership between the FFLA and the Forest Service.
Check back soon for further Duckett Top updates.
