I’m Carlotta, an OSM/FlatVISTA with the Appalachian
Coal Country Team! I’m pretty excited that ACCT Team Director, April
Trent, is sending me to do some site visits in the field. It's only a couple
weeks before our big spring training at Hawks Nest State Park in Ansted, WV,
so I’ve got to move pretty quickly from
site to site.
On my first stop I will OSM/VISTA Rob Jackson
with Morris Creek Watershed Association (MCWA), just up the road a bit in
Montgomery, WV. I hope that Rob will show me the new hydro-turbine that they’ve
been working on. I follow MCWA on Facebook and it looks like they’ve been hard at working to get the turbine up
and running. I’m also looking forward to hanging out with Mike King and his dog
Natalie, they are a fun pair to hang out with! After visiting Rob, I will hit
the road and visit Sara Cottingham (West by god Virginia, waterfalls, social
enterprise, and middle school science projects!), Derek Hennen (Ohio and rain
gardens), Justin Hite (Ohio and coke ovens), Kelly Cossey (Pennsylvania, AMD
treatment systems, and education), Doug Gilbert (West Virginia, Park
revitalization and Owl Calling), Tarence Ray (Kentucky, watershed outreach...and artistic Appalshop people), and my final stop with Marina Metes (Nashville!!!, prescription drug take-back bins, and stream cleaning).
