A special place is more than land and water. A special place takes you to a time and to a memory, it brings you peace, and leaves you open to life. It is a place where you feel connected to your own life and to the life around you. A farmer’s special place may be his field, a wildlife watcher’s a forest, a sportsman’s may be a remote stretch of woods, a hiker’s an entire expanse of mountains, a child’s may be a field of green where she can run and play or a creek bed to fish.

West Virginians have many special places. That is why the West Virginia Land Trust is here. Through education, outreach, and voluntary conservation easements, the Land Trust works to help protect these special places, FOREVER.
