Stop the Mining at Cedar Creek Battlefield
Limestone mining operations across portions of the Cedar Creek battlefield have long been one of the most dramatic threats facing any Civil War battlefield. Now a Belgian-owned mining firm wants to further expand their operations at the expense of this hallowed ground.
CWPT continues to pursue all available means to reverse the decision that will allow the mine to expand in earnest.
