Guardians of the West Fork Watershed MISSION STATEMENT

Guardians of the West Fork Watershed is a volunteer 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to the preservation and improvement of the ecological integrity of the West Fork River, its tributaries, and its watershed.  It will monitor and assist agencies in monitoring the biological, physical, chemical and cultural characteristics of the watershed to identify sources of degradation and suggest their elimination.  It will publicize the status of the watershed and encourage education and recreational enjoyment of the watershed.  It will seek wide membership and outside funding to support its activities.

Guardians of the West Fork Watershed meet every third Tuesday of the Month at the Nutterfort, WV 911 Station.

The West Fork watershed comprises 880 square miles located in north central portion of West Virginia. Its boundaries include all of Harrison County, most of Lewis County, and parts of Marion, Taylor, Barbour and Upshur Counties. The West Fork River flows 103 miles north through Weston and Clarksburg, to its confluence with the Tygart River near Fairmont, where the two form the Monongahela River.
