Appalachian Headwaters

About

Appalachian Headwaters works at the intersection of environmental literacy and ecological restoration in Greenbrier County — teaching people about the natural systems around them while doing the hands-on work of restoring those systems. Through education programs, restoration projects, and community engagement, they're building the kind of environmental knowledge base that sustains conservation work over generations rather than grant cycles.

Situated in Lewisburg, Appalachian Headwaters operates in a community where outdoor recreation and natural heritage are increasingly central to the local identity and economy. Their work ensures that residents — especially young people — understand and are connected to the ecological systems that make this place worth caring about. That connection is the foundation everything else gets built on.
