Fighting King Coal! Defending Old Growth!
Support the Buckeye Forest Council in their efforts to fight coal mining under the Dysart Woods!
• Dysart Woods is designated as a National Natural Landmark
• According to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Dysart Woods is afforded special protection because it is “fragile lands”, including the prohibition of mining in its immediate vicinity
• The State exempted Ohio Valley Coal Company from this restriction
• However under the exemption OVCC has to meet very strict standards, including demonstrating or proving that there will be no subsidence in the area of Dysart Woods
• OVCC has not met those standards
• State approved permit despite OVCC not meeting the standards
Go over and read about the hearings ongoing Buckeye Forest Council website.
Go Buckeyes!
