This is our fourth week in the Season of Creation in which we celebrate water. To help us learn more about how we can be in relationship with the water we spoke with Tomi Bergstrom who works for our state Department of Environmental Protect and for the national non-profit, Project WET.

She directed us to several resources which can help people who are just beginning to learn about the 12 rivers, 10,000 creeks, and 40,000 stream miles of water in West Virginia.

• • Find your Waterway: https://mywaterway.epa.gov/
