About
Conservation West Virginia is an advocacy organization that focuses on policy, public education, and coalition-building to protect the state’s natural resources. The group tracks legislation, informs voters, and works with partners to support clean water, intact forests, and responsible energy and land-use decisions. Its mission is to ensure that West Virginia’s environment and communities are represented in policy debates that shape the state’s future.
This role is critical for the long-term health of West Virginia’s outdoor recreation economy. By safeguarding public lands and waters, Conservation WV helps protect the landscapes that hikers, paddlers, hunters, and climbers depend on. Their work complements Access Appalachia’s mission by reinforcing the policy framework that makes sustainable, community-oriented outdoor recreation possible.
