About
Conservation West Virginia is an advocacy organization working to protect public lands, clean water, and outdoor access across the state. They focus on the policy and advocacy dimensions of conservation — the legislative fights, regulatory processes, and public education work that shapes how West Virginia's natural resources are managed and protected over time. In a state where extractive industries have historically had significant political influence, having a well-organized conservation advocacy organization matters.
Conservation WV's work intersects directly with outdoor recreation through their advocacy for public land access, clean water protection, and the policy environment that enables trails, parks, and recreation infrastructure to exist. They're part of the broader coalition of organizations working to ensure that WV's natural assets are protected in ways that benefit residents and the growing outdoor economy.
