Mission
THE WVLT PROTECTS "SPECIAL PLACES" IN WV, WHICH INCLUDE LANDS THAT GIVE WV ITS DISTINCTIVE CHARACTER AND EXHIBIT SIGNIFICANT CONSERVATION VALUES. THOSE VALUES SPAN A RANGE OF PUBLIC BENEFITS, INCLUDING WATER QUALITY PROTECTION, RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES, BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY, AGRICULTURAL SITES, AND SITES THAT PROTECT CULTURAL AND HISTORICAL RESOURCES. WVLT ALSO OPERATES A SIGNIFICANT OUTREACH PROGRAM THAT ENGAGES THE PUBLIC, AGENCIES, AND ORGANIZATIONS IN RECOGNIZING AND ENJOYING THE BENEFITS OF OUTDOOR SPACES THAT ARE AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC USE.
