From our Partners at WV Rivers Coalition

Two years ago, we secured an important victory by protecting our State Parks from underground carbon sequestration. Now, with the introduction of Senate Bill 627, these protections are at risk.

If passed, SB 627 would allow carbon sequestration in our State Parks, putting our beloved public lands and recreational spaces in jeopardy.

Imagine the peaceful atmosphere of Watoga disturbed by constant truck traffic, or the natural beauty of Blackwater Falls interrupted by a pipeline. Injection stations at Tomlinson Run, Chief Logan, and Babcock would alter the tranquility that so many enjoy.

Our State Parks are a sanctuary — places where we can hike, explore, and experience nature in its purest form. We cannot sacrifice these irreplaceable spaces for undefined economic development.

We need your help today. Please get in touch with the members of the Senate Committee on Economic Development and urge them to reject SB 627. Let them know you value our State Parks as they are — wild and wonderful.

Thank you for standing with us to protect the heart of West Virginia’s natural beauty.

Take action now!
