West Virginia Highlands Conservancy is excited to attend this year’s Cheat Fest, an annual event celebrating the Cheat River and its surrounding wilderness. The festival is a great opportunity for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy live music, food, and art while learning about conservation efforts in the area. The West Virginia Highlands Conservancy will have a booth at the festival to provide information about our mission to protect and restore the natural beauty of the Highlands region and beyond – for future generations! Be sure to stop by and learn more about our work and how you can get involved in conservation efforts.
