Guardians Board and members Randy Kesling, Robert Helfer, Sally Egan, Lisa deGruyter, and Al Cox, in new volunteer recognition hats and caps, hold our new Water Trail signs, all funded by a previous Stream Partners Grant.
The Guardians have been awarded a 2026 Stream Partners Program Grant, which will continue to support our work in abandoned mine drainage pollution cleanup in partnership with WVU Water Research Institute, watershed health, outreach and education, and recreation on the river, including the West Fork River Water Trail.
The Guardians are celebrating 25 years of cleaning up the West Fork River and promoting recreation on the river. We are starting monthly talks on our watershed. The first one will be Tuesday, February 24, at 7 PM at the Waldomore in Clarksburg, next to the main library.
