The West Virginia Legislative Session began on January 10, 2024. We hope the Legislature will keep these important goals in mind as bills come before their committees and for votes in the House of Delegates and the Senate. 

• Nature-based, non-motorized recreation compatible with public lands in our Parks, Forest, Wildlife Management Areas (WMA), and other public lands. Extend the prohibitions against motorized trails to WMAs! 
• Conservation of our scenic, wild and wonderful rivers, streams, and waters.
• Robust funding for staff and maintenance - and for Adopt-A-Stream and Adopt-A-Trail programs, and litter pickup.
• Increased accessibility for all compatible with conservation of public lands.
• Multiple opportunities for public participation and comment for new plans for our state lands. 

We hope you agree with these commonsense proposals. We invite you to take a moment and let your representatives know that you support these goals to conserve our wild and wonderful state public lands, for our enjoyment now and for future generations. 

Fill out this form to give your opinions to your Delegate and both Senators. We encourage you to customize your message for more impact – let them know how the traditional values of our public lands is personal to you and that you appreciate their actions this session to conserve your public lands!
