About Us

Appalachian Headwaters, a nonprofit organization, is dedicated to environmental education and ecological restoration in the Greenbrier Valley of West Virginia, and beyond. Our small core staff works to provide various education and habitat restoration resources to the region.

We operate several environmental education programs including Camp Waldo (an environmental education overnight summer camp in Hinton), Wood Thrush Park and Education Center in Lewisburg (main hub for community programs, youth programming, and community events).  Headwaters also hosts summer college and high school internships dedicated to career training and personal development. Appalachian Headwaters sponsors the Greenbrier River chapter of the West Virginia Master Naturalist program and holds many Master Naturalist classes on site at Wood Thrush Park.

Appalachian Headwaters is also pleased to announce the 2026 opening of our on site Native Plant Nursery. The Native Plant Nursery will provide a wide selection of herbaceous and woody plants native to Central Appalachia for landowners and to assist in region wide restoration projects.
