An OSM/VISTA Initiative
 
   
Founded in response to requests from watershed groups throughout coal country, the work of the Appalachian Coal Country Watershed Team (ACCWT) supports a growing movement that is quietly bringing new strength and new hope to the Appalachian region. The Watershed Team arms community organizations and watershed-based projects with the training, tools, and volunteer support necessary to help local citizens become effective environmental stewards, community leaders, and accelerators of change in places indelibly marked by the environmental legacy of pre-regulatory coal mining. Together, the Team and its local partners are propelling a new Appalachian economy based on conservation and development, strong partnerships, and new hope. read more
