Three activists are sitting in the trees, blocking the illegal construction of an access road up Coal River Mountain.
Since blasting started on Coal River Mountain this fall, the local campaign has reached fever pitch. The highest and last remaining mountain in the Coal River Valley is under attack from Massey, a company that routinely violates its permits when it feels like they aren't important.
Xylem wrote earlier today about the action already, so I want to pile on a little bit with a report from Rock Creek, WV.
