Rare Cooper's Rock Species Threatened -- FOB & Cooper's Rock Foundation Say No!
Friends of Blackwater and the Cooper's Rock Foundationhave told the West Virginia Department of Natural Resources and Division of Forestry, in an April 9 letter, that the proposed Scott Run II timber project in Coopers Rock State Forest would harm endangered species in the Forest. The area for this timbering proposal is approximately 210 acres the south side of the Forest, between Raven Rock trail and the McCullum Campground. The project, as planned, could threaten the Cheat Three Toothed Land Snail, the Green Salamander, the Allegheny Wood Rat, the Indiana Bat -- and the recreation experience at Cooper's Rock.
