Longtime Guardians volunteers Mike Murphy and Jim Nedrow testing for pollution at the mouth of Lambert Run
The Guardians are launching a new speaker series to celebrate 25 years of cleaning up the West Fork River and promoting recreation on the river. The first talk, by Senior Water Research Scientist, Mel Shafer, West Virginia Water Research Institute at WVU, will explain the damage done to our river and others across West Virginia by polluted water from abandoned mine drainage and what is being done about it.
The Guardians will also be honoring our land owners who have given up parts of their woods and fields for wetland and pond treatment systems, and our long-time volunteers who made the Lambert Run project possible and spent years planning, testing the water regularly, and working with the landowners, contractors, and WVWRI staff.
The talk will be at the Waldomore, Clarksburg-Harrison Public Library, Tuesday, February 24 from 7-8 p.m.
