The first defense to protecting our environment is partnering with the landowners along the route of the Mountain Valley Pipeline. 83% of Virginia and 84% of West Virginia land is privately owned, leaving most of the Mountain Valley Pipeline routing through private property. Landowners along the route are deeply familiar with the activity of the pipeline construction and can provide a key perspective to how it affects the surrounding area.

Read how landowners were affected by Mountain Valley Pipeline seizing private property:
“The land we had purchased for homesites for our children now has a 42 inch natural gas pipeline under it or near it. The site and our existing home are in the incineration zone should there be a leak and explosion.” – Becky Crabtree
