WALHONDE WATER
TRAIL WARNING
 
Welcome back to the CRG Web site.
 


Welcome back to the CRG Web site. Our web site has not been updated for a number of months. But now we are back with the help of Volunteer Webmaster Jason Hager.

Many major events have occurred over the summer and we want inform everyone about NEW actions that the Coal River Group has taken to “BRING PEOPLE BACK TO THE COAL RIVERS”.

We have listed below a few of the significant events which the Coal River Group has been involved in during the past few months.

• New Science and Education Center to be built at Medowood Park, Tornado, WV
• CRG School based water monitoring program spawns national science winners.
• CRG builds new Mile long hiking trail at Barnette Conservation Preserve.
• CRG builds new handicapped accessible trail and boat access site at Meadowood.
• 88 mile long Walhonde Water Trail now open.
• Fishing has been great on the Coal Rivers this summer.

The group has added many new MEMBERS over the past few months and we thank these people for their commitment of time and money to our efforts to Clean the Coal.

The biggest single undertaking the Group has ever undertaken will be the construction of our new Science and Education Center. The project has been promised money from the 2007 Legislative Community Partners grant but we do not know when that money will be received. Thanks to Senator McCabe (Kanawha) and Senator Stollings (Boone) for their support in this grant effort…now let’s get the money released from the Treasury!

Please review the various categories shown on the right. We will be updating all sections with new pictures and information during the coming months.

Thanks for your support
Bill Currey
