GW National Forest Plan
The Forest Service is rewriting GW National Forest's management plan, which will govern forest land uses for years to come. SVN and its members are engaged on two main points: watershed protection and banning industrial wind projects within the Forest.

Forest Drinking Watersheds
Watersheds within the GW National Forest provide public drinking water for over 200,000 residents of the northern Shenandoah Valley, making the protection and management of Forest watersheds paramount.
Industrial Wind Energy on Forest Lands
SVN supports a ban on industrial wind energy projects in the GW National Forest due to the severe impacts of such projects on intact forested ridgelines.
