Chief Logan State Park - Gas Drilling
Gas Drilling
 West Virginian's take great pride in our State Parks -- they are the crown jewels of our public lands!
But now there is a new threat to our beautiful State Parks. The largest gas well driller in the nation wants to drill gas wells and develop new gas fields with their roads, pipelines, waste lagoons, and more --- right in one of our treasured State Parks. Chief Logan State Park is the latest in the list of public lands imperiled by gas drilling.
West Virginians and visitors come to Chief Logan and our other state parks to hike, picnic, swim, play, meet friends and family, and enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings. Gas development in our State Parks would damage all the values we hold dear.
Please join us in asking Governor Manchin to use all available means to prevent this impending tragedy by clicking here to sign our petition.
