Happy Valentine’s Day, friends! What a perfect day to show some extra love for the things that make West Virginia so special — our public lands and watersheds.

At WV Rivers, we are committed to safeguarding West Virginia’s water resources and natural landscapes, and we know you are, too.

From speaking up for clean water and conserving our headwater streams (which provide drinking water for millions of people!) to holding corporate polluters accountable, our team works every day to ensure a future where every West Virginian has safe water.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of longtime supporter and former board member Bill Turner, along with the Brad Pyles family, we have a $25,000 matching gift available! This gift comes from the Pyles & Turner Foundation, which has stood by WV Rivers for years and is now making one final, meaningful investment in our work to conserve West Virginia’s public lands and protect our headwaters.

Whether you’re giving in honor of someone special this Valentine’s Day or just because you believe in our shared vision of access to clean water for all, every dollar you give today will be DOUBLED, further empowering WV Rivers to watchdog our streams, protect public health, and advocate for stronger safeguards against pollution. So, let’s help honor the legacy of the Pyles and Turner Foundation and make the most of this special opportunity!

Whether you’re giving in honor of someone special this Valentine’s Day or just because you believe in our shared vision of access to clean water for all, your donation empowers WV Rivers to watchdog our streams, protect public health, and advocate for stronger safeguards against pollution.

Together, we can make this Valentine’s Day a true celebration of our love for the land and waters that sustain us all.

Thank you for your continued commitment and generosity. We are grateful to have you by our side.

For clean water and healthy communities,

Jennie Smith
Executive Director, WV Rivers Coalition
