A vision for the future The vision for the Highlands Action Program is one of locally-driven partnerships that will meet the needs of local residents, and will use sound science to solve environmental and economic problems.
Canaan Valley Institute (CVI) is a nonprofit, non-advocacy organization committed to helping communities improve the quality of life in their watersheds by restoring aquatic resources using cost-effective, locally determined solutions.
CVI serves an area covering 79,000 square miles. With our headquarters in Thomas, West Virginia, and additional staff located throughout the Mid-Atlantic Highlands, CVI has the ability to work directly with people across our service area.
CVI's greatest asset is our staff: a dedicated and diverse group of individuals in four states who firmly believe that local people can make a difference in solving their communities' concerns. Our technology is cutting edge, our expertise unparalleled and accessible, and our commitment 100 percent. The Institute is structured for integrated problem solving and implementation, as project teams draw on staff and resources from three divisions: Science & Technology , Stakeholder Services & Assessment , and Finance & Operations .
