West Virginia is naturally one of the most wild and beautiful states in the country. But it is losing its beauty, height and wildlife at an astonishing rate.
Please help support our efforts to Keep West Virginia Wild. Keep WV Wild is a grassroots advocacy organization that was formed to raise awareness about the devastating effects of mountain top mining (MTR). Keep WV Wild seeks to raise supporting funds for organizations that are fighting daily to stop MTR. Through our partnership with the Coal Mountain River Watch, Keep WV Wild hopes to stop the destruction of West Virginia’s Appalachian Mountains, its majestic rivers and the communities who depend on these natural resources for survival. |
