SPARTA — The district ranger with the Uwharrie National Forest died in a motorcycle accident Saturday near Sparta,
according to a preliminary report from the N.C. Highway Patrol.

Officials confirmed Deborah Walker died in the 3 p.m. accident, which occurred on U.S. 21
about 11 miles south of Sparta in Alleghany County.

No further information was immediately available.

Walker was assigned to the Uwharrie National Forest in 2005 after 16 years in California and New Mexico.
She graduated from N.C. State University with bachelor’s and master’s degrees in science, with a concentration in forestry.

Who wants to join us? Waiting on details but it sounds like we will be moving rock from the double parking lot to Dutch John. This probably means we will be spreading rock for our Nov run work day.

I'll post details when terry sends them. Logistics will be the same. Meet around 8:30am on Saturday October 22 at the outpost and head to Hunt Camp a few minutes before 9.
