Hello!

We're excited to announce that the region for the next Barnraising will be Appalachia! The event will be hosted June 23rd and 24th, in Morgantown, West Virginia.


The Appalachia Barnraising is an open event that seeks to bring participants together to share out about regional environmental concerns, advance technical knowledge, and improve social ties.


The event is open for anyone to bring environmental interests and ideas. It will also have a focus on extreme energy extraction. Communities affected by coal mining, oil drilling, and fracking will be front and center at this event as we come together to work on developing strategies, and addressing these issues in our communities, and across the region.

Registration is open and more information about the event can be found at www.publiclab.org/Barnraising.

Please pass along the invite, and hope you can come!

Hi Stevie, Will you be doing  hands-on monitoring work as well or equipment and software development ? There is a  prof. at Virginia Tech who is from  West Virginia and is going to be conducting water quality research in service to communities there in WV? Would you like to get her contact. I have it from a Science for the People discussion site. Dianne Rocheleau Clark University. droch...@clarku.edu

Hi Dianne!
Sure pass it along to anyone you think might be interested. A group at WV worked with the Riffle a while back will be at the event, but incase it's not them, please pass it along!

The event is run in an unconference style, so I can't exactly say what will happen (we'll set the schedule together in person), but it's likely we'll be working with hands-on monitoring more so than software development, at least that's the way it has been at regional Barnraisings in previous years.

Hope you can come!
