West Virginia still has 182,000 acres of roadless national forest — wild places like Roaring Plains, Seneca Creek, Tea Creek, Canaan Loop, North Fork Mountain, Cheat Mountain, and the Falls of Hills Creek area.

[West Virginia Rivers @OurWVRivers]

Congress is now considering a bill that would permanently protect these forests. Sen. Jim Justice sits on the committee deciding whether it moves forward.

[West Virginia Rivers @OurWVRivers]

So stay tuned and be sure to show some love to the organizations and people that showcase just how much of an impact community action can have in driving real change and making us stronger together for clean water.

💧 This year, we’re doing #GivingTuesday a little differently — with a #RiverLover twist. Our #TogetherForCleanWater campaign celebrates the partners, volunteers, and neighbors who make clean water possible every single day.

[West Virginia Rivers @OurWVRivers]

This week, we’ll share their stories and ways you can make a direct impact:
• Helping volunteers clean up their local waters
• Supporting new water-quality monitoring equipment
• Sending a child to paddle camp
• Providing clean, reliable water to families in need
