Appalachian Voices Volunteer and Intern Update
Appalachian Voices’ volunteers and interns accomplished some amazing things in the last two months. We had 77 volunteers and interns working over 1200 hours for our Clean Air Campaign, Mountaintop Removal Campaign, the Appalachian Voice, and our Sustainable Forestry Program. Without the assistance of our volunteers and interns we could not accomplish as much to protect and preserve the natural and cultural heritage of the Appalachians.
