In honor of International Day of Charity, we’re reflecting on our recent tree-planting event that brought our community together for a great cause! 🌳🌲 Wellmore Coal Company partnered with Metallurgical Coal Producers Association (MCPA), Virginia Department of Energy, The Nature Conservancy, Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE), Virginia Department of Forestry (VDOF), and Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) for an inspiring day of reclamation. 🌱 150 ninth graders from Grundy High School, Council High School, and Hurley High School joined us to plant 1,000 trees on one of our permitted mine sites. These students not only got their hands dirty but also learned about the reclamation process and the importance of tree planting. 👏

Happy National Dog Day! 🐶 Today, we're taking a moment to reflect on the incredible journey of our canine companions in the mining industry. In the early days of coal mining, dogs played various roles underground. From "pit dogs" pulling coal carts to saving lives, dogs have truly become man's best friend. This evolution shows how far we've come in valuing the unique abilities of our furry friends while prioritizing their welfare. 📸: West Virginia & Regional History Center

We recently introduced the Wellmore Coal Company Mine Rescue Team's Map Man, Jordan, and he told you what he does at the competition, but do you know why a map man is so important if a real underground event were to occur? Chris Turner, our Mine Rescue Trainer and Surface Safety Inspector, is here to explain it all!
