Publishers Notes: Our country is still battling COVID-19. To avoid the spread of this virus and continue to enjoy outdoor activities, ALL outdoor enthusiasts (man, woman, child) should follow the guidelines set by nps.gov. These guidelines include; social distancing, the Leave No Trace principles, including pack-in and pack-out, to keep outdoor spaces safe and healthy.
The lease agreement between the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources (WVDNR) and the West Virginia Department of Agriculture for the Andrew Rowan Farm Wildlife Management Area in Monroe County has been cancelled, closing the area for public use.
Hunters and outdoor enthusiasts who used the WMA are encouraged to visit the new Daniels Ridge WMA in Monroe County. This 3,376-acre area is located just west of the former Andrew Rowan Farm WMA, which is now managed by Sweet Springs Resort Park Foundation, Inc. in Gap Mills, W.Va. Moncove Lake WMA is also nearby.
