GREEN Newsletter, Volume 36 Issue 14
It’s hard to believe there is less than a month until we bid summer 2026 goodbye. This summer will be remembered for record heat and what felt like near constant flash flooding around the state. Torrential rains ravaged communities around the state, reminding us all of the importance of flood resilience. Environmental policy is so much more than protecting habitats and endangered species.

Visions of an Ecofuture
In honor of America’s 250th birthday this month, our Communications Coordinator Anna asked Morgan and I to write brief essays envisioning an ecofuture for West Virginia, whether that’s 25 or 250 years from now. I dragged my feet because it’s hard for me to think beyond election cycles and presidencies. That’s the policy brain in me. I have a rough idea of what’s best when it comes to a certain policy, but how can I achieve something with what we have right now? More

We’ve also included several articles from the Kentucky Lantern as they seemed pertinent to our communities, too; shared borders, shared problems. More

GREEN Newsletter, Volume 36 Issue 11
The third Friday in May — May 15 this year — is Endangered Species Day. Globally, we take time to recognize endangered wildlife and the importance of conservation. West Virginia is home to more than 20 federally endangered species, some of which have been listed since the 1960s. All over the state, groups like the Greenbrier River Watershed Association work hard to heal and maintain the health of local habitats to protect the well-being of fragile ecosystems in our hills and hollers.
