My name is Kathy Selvage, and I live in Wise County, Virginia. I am blogging for the first time as part of DevilsTower’s “30 days to save the mountains” series. He has asked me to come and speak a little bit about what’s it like to live in a community where MTR and other radical forms of strip mining occur.
25% of all our land in Wise County has been destroyed by strip-mining and mountaintop removal. So, it’s very difficult to describe but I’ll try to tell you briefly some of the ways it affects our daily lives, families, and our communities here. I’d also like to share some ways you might be able to help.
