On April 28, OVEC board members met with active
volunteers of the Mountain Community Preservation Coalition.
It was a chance for OVEC board members to see coalfield
community organizing in action and to meet with some of the newer
volunteers. Members listened with deep interest as people like Chuck
Nelson spoke about life in the coalfields and the impact mountaintop
removal mining is having.
The meeting included a tour of communities affected by
mountaintop removal and coal sludge dams.
