Support Land Purchase in the New River Gorge
There is a non-profit that is trying to buy 8 tracts of land around the New River Gorge. The land will be auctioned on June 30 so this is time sensitive. They are trying to raise funds for the auction so that they can bid on the land. More detail is below. The group has a good rating on Charity Navigator.

These nonprofits are totally legitimate. I hope they get the land,
The Conservation Fund: A national nonprofit that frequently acts as a third-party buyer to secure private tracts (such as the 963-acre Irish Mountain addition) before transferring them to the National Park Service.The Nature Conservancy: This organization has a long history of partnering with the NPS and state agencies, having protected over 8,000 acres along the New River Gorge corridor.West Virginia Land Trust: A statewide organization that permanently protects natural lands, water quality, and local recreational access throughout the region.New River Conservancy: While often focused on water quality and riverbank protections, they frequently coordinate with other conservation groups to secure surrounding gorge and tributary lands.
Thanks for this.
