Plateau Action Network (PAN)

About

Plateau Action Network is a watershed and community development organization serving the New River Gorge area. The group implements water quality projects, stormwater management solutions, and green infrastructure initiatives that reduce pollution and improve stream health. Its mission is to protect and restore local waterways while advancing community resilience and quality of life.

PAN’s work often intersects with outdoor recreation, as clean streams and effective stormwater management directly affect trails, river access, and the visitor experience. By linking environmental restoration with community planning, the organization supports the type of holistic, place-based development that Access Appalachia seeks to encourage throughout the region.
