Coal River Mountain Watch

Coal River Mountain Watch is a non-profit organization based in Charleston, WV, dedicated to protecting the environment and communities affected by mountaintop removal mining. They work to raise awareness about the impacts of this destructive mining practice and advocate for sustainable energy alternatives. Through their various campaigns, educational programs, and citizen enforcement initiatives, they strive to hold mining companies accountable and promote environmental justice in the region.

Coal River Mountain Watch actively opposes the renewal of mountaintop removal permits, such as the proposed renewal of Lexington Coal Company's permit on Cherry Pond Mountain. They organize conferences, rallies, and online campaigns to mobilize public support and encourage individuals to voice their opposition to these permits. Additionally, the organization focuses on environmental education, offering resources and programs for children and students to learn about sustainable energy and economic diversification. Through their efforts, Coal River Mountain Watch aims to protect the natural resources and communities of the Appalachian region.
