From frontier days until today, if you've spent any time in West Virginia's woodlands, it's possible you've come face to snout with a bear. What to do? 

Part of what it means to be a West Virginian is to love our mountains and streams. Here's a video story about a Cabell County man who turns that noble sentiment into action right in his backyard, in a way that all his neighbors benefit from.

West Virginians love to share the history of every landmark or special spot in our state. Maybe it’s a fun local legend that happened at a community owned restaurant, or an unusual story behind a unique building in town, or even a historical figure that stayed in the town’s inn centuries ago. It’s how we preserve and share our own local culture.
