Last week, we took a huge step forward in restoring Lambert Site 4! 🎉 Our preconstruction meeting with WV Water Research Institute engineers, project managers, and our contractor/property owner set the stage for a wetland that will help remove iron pollution from a mine seep in an unnamed tributary. Construction kicks off in late June or July, and we can’t wait to see the improvements!
We’re grateful for our partners at WVWRI, and WV DEP Abandoned Mine Lands for stepping in to cover our construction costs—ensuring this vital project moves ahead smoothly. Their support has been instrumental in keeping our timeline on track and ensuring that essential watershed restoration efforts continue uninterrupted.
💧 What does this mean for our community?
✔️ Cleaner water for Lambert Run
✔️ Healthier ecosystems for fish and wildlife
✔️ Long-term restoration of our local tributaries
And to celebrate these improvements, we’re planning a community barbecue later this summer! 🍔🌿 Stay tuned for details—we want YOU to be a part of this milestone.
Your support and engagement make all the difference. Let’s protect our watershed together! 💙
