HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS: WE NEED YOUR HELP!! Please visit the Wilderness Coalition website and sign our petition.
Clean air, clean water, physical exercise, relief of stress, anxiety and other pressures of daily life, and development of self confidence and self esteem are important for maintaining and improving the physical and mental health and well-being of West Virginians. The wilderness areas of the Mon National Forest provide such intangible benefits and we need the assistance of WV health professionals to protect those areas.
