Welcome to LandScope West Virginia
The LandScope America website is a work in progress. In addition to comprehensive nationwide information, like much of what you can already find via the map viewer, we will include extensive state-by-state information, found on state home pages like this one. Because West Virginia is one of many states where we are still working to develop all of the needed maps, stories and other content, currently you’ll find only summary information here. For an example of completed state content, visit the home pages of our five pilot states: Colorado, Florida, Maine, Virginia and Washington.

Conservation Overview
West Virginia, sparsely populated and heavily forested, is a relatively small state, but its far-reaching panhandles and rugged terrain provide ecological diversity beyond its size. Conservation efforts here focus on protecting the species and natural communities that make the state wild and wonderful.
Conservation Priorities in West Virginia

West Virginia Wildlife Action Plan
The West Virginia Wildlife Conservation Action Plan charts a course for science-driven, active conservation of fish and wildlife resources over the next decade. Key features of the plan are its emphasis on West Virginia wildlife conservation actions, including a habitat conservation initiative, and its collaborative approach to plan implementation. Although the plan covers a ten-year span, it is actually only the first step in a continuous, adaptive management process for collaborative conservation of the state's fish and wildlife resources and the habitats that sustain them.
