America’s public lands belong to all of us — not just to industry interests. West Virginia’s Monongahela National Forest, affectionately known as “the Mon,” and the waterways within and downstream of it are home to thriving ecosystems and cherished outdoor spaces that support local communities and economies. These lands are meant to be preserved for future generations, not exploited for short-term gain.

But now, that future is at risk. A new executive order from President Trump aims to open national forests to coal mining, despite a longstanding federal ban designed to protect these irreplaceable landscapes. Join us for a special webinar on May 21 at 1 p.m. (as part of the ‘Our Land, Our Home’ webinar series) or May 29 at 6 p.m., where Appalachian Voices and our partners will share what we’re doing to safeguard the Monongahela and how you can get involved.

Join us to learn how communities across the region are standing up for our national forests and rivers. Register today and be a part of the movement to protect our public lands.
