You’ll have an opportunity to ask questions, get more information, and share your ideas and concerns. For more details, please see the calendar event here. Folks all over the state can now give opinions for providing permanent safeguards to our Mon Forest Headwaters and what concerns you may have about new policies.

Care Needed in Wilderness Areas: It’s summer, and that means adventures in Wild and Wonderful West Virginia. Both residents and visitors love our special and unique local, state, and national public lands. Care must be taken to ensure that enjoying public lands does not damage irreplaceable lands. The WV Highlands Conservancy, in partnership with the Forest Service, trains Wilderness Trailhead Stewards in Dolly Sods. They educate visitors about protecting trails and wilderness, leveraging goodwill for resource conservation. Learn more here!

Catch up on recorded webinars! Watch our Community Solar 101 Lunch & Learn and WV River’s water quality webinars.

Let’s work together to preserve the beauty and integrity of West Virginia.
