SWTO is arranging a trip to one of the WV Host Farms fracking areas on Oct. 25-27, 2013 and are inviting interested members to join us.
The Host Farm program is providing journalists, photographers, scientists, students, activists, politicians and concerned citizens with proximity to fracking activities from their own properties. The people who comprise the Host Farm network are committed to exposing the negative impacts that the fracking activities have unleashed.
Our destination will be an area in WV where fracking is underway; exactly where is yet to be determined.
There will be ample "up close and personal" photographic and video opportunities, time to hear from the hosts about their personal experiences and to share in discussions about the endless concerns that evolve from fracking industry activities.
Host families will provide us with accommodations for both nights and SWTO will assume the cost of a rental passenger van.
The only expenses for attendees will be for food and shared fuel, toll costs.
We plan to leave Fri. morning and to return Sun. afternoon/eve. and anticipate a few hrs. driving time to and from Monroe County.
Please respond to this email or call Laurie Ardison (304-832-6499) by Oct. 9 if you would like to join us. This will doubtless be an unforgettable journey!
