Great example of ensuring forest management meets one of it's foundational objectives - clean water! To do so their are using technology i.e. drones/UAV, to assist in the research. This is a very special place to me. Wishing them success.

A Bold Plan: The Story of WVU and the Salvation of a Historic Home for Brook Trout

In this new mini-documentary, you can experience the Shavers Fork story from industrial development to current scientific advances, such as drone technology, that are being used to preserve the brook trout habitat:
