Upcoming Chapter events
Quilting for Community. A group has been meeting weekly in Morgantown to learn about quilting and sewing, to meet new people, and to learn how they can make a difference in climate change, including through the Beyond Coal Campaign. The hope is to finish their Log Cabin quilt by Earth Day (April 22) and display it around the state to spark conversations about environmental advocacy. If you’d like to join the group or help start a quilting effort in your community, please contact Lisa DiBartolomew (lisa.dibartolomeo@sierraclub.org).
Southern WV Outing and Cleanup. This two-day event in April will offer Sierrans and others a chance to learn about West Virginia's southern region and to meet with local folks and lend a hand in an area cleanup.
When: Friday, April 17, 2026; 1:00 p.m. to Saturday, April 18, 2026; 4:00 p.m.
Where: Mingo, Welch, and McDowell counties, WV.
What: The event consists of a 1 p.m. guided tour of the Mine Wars Museum in Matewan, Mingo County, followed by a short hike through the town and across the Tug Fork River into Kentucky. Along the way, we'll visit the Hatfield McCoy Historic Marker in McCarr and Sid Hatfield's grave in Buskirk. Hatfield, a relative of the infamous "Devil Anse" Hatfield, was an active supporter of the United Mine Workers of America and was targeted for retribution by the coal industry. We'll also learn some of the area's history beyond the Hatfield and McCoy feud.
On Friday evening, participants will explore Welch and visit the McDowell County Courthouse, where Sid Hatfield and Ed Chambers were gunned down in 1921 by Baldwin-Felts detectives. Afterwards, there will be a meal in Welch with members and leaders of Reconnecting McDowell, a local organization that works on revitalizing and supporting the county.
Saturday, April 18 will offer an opportunity to join Reconnecting McDowell, Trout Unlimited, and other local groups for a road cleanup of Route 52 or a cleanup of Elkhorn Creek. (Waders required for the latter.)
You are welcome to join part of all of this two-day event. Overnight lodging or camping can be arranged on your own. For information, contact Lisa DiBartolomeo at lisa.dibartolomeo@sierraclub.org.
