The proposed East Fork of Greenbrier would permanently protect important headwaters of the Greenbrier River which is depended upon as a source of drinking water by downstream communities. This area is known for its excellent trout fishing, whitewater paddling, hunting and hiking opportunities. The area is home to the federally endangered West Virginia Northern Flying Squirrel and the Candy Darter. Remote and wild in character, the proposed East Fork of Greenbrier wilderness is a quiet, peaceful place, with excellent opportunities for primitive and unconfined recreation. Without Wilderness protection this area will continue to be threatened by commercial logging and roadbuilding.
