Organization

Guardians of the West Fork Watershed is a volunteer 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to the preservation and improvement of the ecological integrity of the West Fork River, its tributaries, and its watershed. It will monitor, and assist agencies in monitoring, the biological, physical, chemical and cultural characteristics of the watershed to identify sources of degradation and suggest their elimination. It will publicize the status of the watershed, and encourage education and recreational enjoyment of the watershed. It will seek wide membership and outside funding to support its activities.

We are one of over 40 watershed groups in West Virginia, and part of the Northern Basin group of watershed organizations.
